First bloom incoming!!! My black pagoda lipstick plant has had this for a couple weeks now. And Iāve been watching it. My plant has been suchhhhh a slow grower and hasnāt done much in the last 6 months. (Tips appreciated) Today I decided to look up what blooms look like on this plant and low and behold itās the very start of a bloom. The bloom will grow and come out of this!! Iām just excited. A few questions: What type of light is best for this? What type of soil is best for this? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #BlackPagodaLipstickPlant #julesplants

Hey guys! Just wanting everyoneās opinion if ya have a min!! #LipstickVine So Iāll include a few pics to show you what Iām taking about but Iāve started to notice that some of my oldest growth thatās closest to the lip of the pot itās in have started to turn yellow and eventually end up dying completely. I havenāt seen ANY yellowing on any of the newer growth. So far it is strictly old growth and like I said, itās 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?
