Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant, also known as Aeschynanthus longicaulis ‘Black Pagoda’, is a unique trailing houseplant known for its patterned foliage and cascading growth habit. Its leaves feature deep green tops with striking purple to burgundy undersides and subtle veining, giving the plant a bold, decorative look even when it is not in bloom. Mature plants may produce tubular orange-red flowers, adding extra color and interest.
For best growth, place Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light will help support fuller growth and better blooming. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help prevent root issues. This plant prefers lightly moist soil, but it should not sit in standing water.
Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant prefers warm indoor temperatures and average to higher humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts, air vents, and temperatures below 60°F. Trimming the vines can help encourage a fuller shape.
Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant is a great choice for plant owners who want a trailing plant with striking foliage, manageable care needs, and beautiful flowering potential.
