Hey guys! Just wanting everyone’s opinion if ya have a mi...
#LipstickVine
So I’ll include a few pics to show you what I’m taking about but I’ve started to notice that some of my oldest growth that’s closest to the lip of the pot it’s in have started to turn yellow and eventually end up dying completely. I haven’t seen ANY yellowing on any of the newer growth. So far it is strictly old growth and like I said, it’s some of the oldest on the plant. Do you guys think this is a watering issue? Or do you think it might be pests? Also, do you guys let you lipstick plant dry out completely between waterings? Or do u left just the first 2 or 3 inches dry before you water again?

Hey Scott 😊 full disclosure.. I don't have a lipstick plant myself! But what you're seeing here is totally the same as what happens with my Trads and I don't think it's too much of an issue at all really 🤞🫣 (I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong here!! Lol 😂).
With newer leaves turning brown and crisping, I'd say UNDERwatering is the main culprit (overwatering and they go yellow, soft and mottled, not brown and crispy!) but old leaves on most plants (especially trailing plants) die off to make room and give energy to new growth.
I'd say she looks pretty healthy from here! Maybe adjust your watering schedule ever so slightly and see if that helps? From what I've read, you should only be letting the top inch or two dry out between waterings (rather than the full pot depth) which is definitely different from other succs that I have! Lol 😆 but they're sent to try us mate... I don't think you need to worry too much yet!
I'll drop a few tags and see if we can get some more expert advice for you 🤞😊 (hopefully confirming what I just wrote?! Lmao 🤣) xx
