How to care for a lipstick plant
- Light: bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Too little light makes growth leggy.
- Water: water when the top inch of soil has dried, and water thoroughly. Keep the pot from sitting in standing water.
- Humidity: tropical plants prefer humid conditions. A pebble tray with water below the pot helps without overwatering.
