Live Plants - Lipstick Plant: Black Pagoda

If you like your houseplants a little strange, a little dramatic, and a little different from the usual the Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant might be your plant.

This unusual Aeschynanthus trailing houseplant has glossy green leaves covered in a wild marbled pattern that looks almost like jungle camouflage or zebra striping. Flip the leaves over and you'll find deep burgundy tones hiding underneath.

As the vines mature, the plant can produce its signature lipstick-style flowers, but this variety takes things in a different direction. The blooms emerge in deep green to almost black tones, giving the plant a moody look that fits perfectly into a colourful jungle shelf or gothic bookshelf!

The growth habit is naturally trailing and cascading, making it ideal for shelves, hanging planters, or letting it spill dramatically over the edge of a plant stand.
