Lipstick Black Pagoda

Botanical Name: Aeschynanthus radicans ‘Black Pagoda’

Common Name(s): Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant

The Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant is a striking variety of the Lipstick Plant known for its unique dark green, paddle-shaped leaves that have a subtle reddish tint and distinctive cream or yellow edges. This stunning plant is native to tropical regions and typically grows to about 12-24 inches in length, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or elevated displays where its trailing vines can showcase their beauty.

This variety thrives in bright, indirect light, although it can adapt to lower light levels. It prefers well-draining soil that retains some moisture but should not be soggy. Allowing the top inch of soil to dry between waterings is crucial to prevent root rot. The Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant is also appreciated for its air-purifying properties, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

Note: The Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant is considered non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with animals. However, it’s always wise to monitor pets to prevent any potential digestive discomfort from nibbling on the leaves.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Unique Foliage: This variety produces tubular, vibrant flowers that can attract pollinators like hummingbirds. The Black Pagoda variety is known for its dark, almost black foliage, providing a striking contrast to the bright red flowers.
  2. Fertilizing: Use a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) for optimal growth.
  3. Pruning: Regularly pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth and remove any dead or damaged leaves.
  4. Pest Watch: Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites; neem oil or insecticidal soap can be effective treatments if needed.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee. Refunds will be processed to the card or account used for your purchase and will typically be available in your bank in 3-5 business days from the date it was issued.

Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping. If weather conditions are extreme (e.g., storm or severe winter), we will inform you of an updated delivery date that we believe is more appropriate.

How can I change my order details?

To update your order details, please contact us within 24 hours of placing your order. We care about all our customers and will like to ship the correct item to the right location. We are not held responsible for orders shipped to incorrect addresses. In addition, we cannot cancel orders that has already been shipped.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Items apart of the same order typically ship together. In rare circumstances, the items may ship from both our Southern California and Florida greenhouses and could arrive in separate packages at different times. For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
