Care Guide
-
Medium to bright indirect sun. It can tolerate a little bit of direct sunlight, but limit to no more than an hour or two. If foliage shows signs of burning, prevent it from getting any direct sunlight.
-
These plants like to dry out between waterings, only water once the soil is mostly dry. Once every 2 weeks seems to work well.
-
Anywhere from 65-80F is acceptable, but no lower than 55F.
-
These plants don’t have specific humidity requirements, and will do well in low - medium humidity. They thrive in typical ambient household humidity (45-55%)
-
Since they like to dry out between waterings, a chunky, well draining aroid mix works best. This provides the roots plenty of air while preventing water from collecting around the roots.

Black pagoda lipstick plants are non-toxic for both pets and people!
