This plant needs bright indirect light. Water it lightly and regularly to achieve consistent moisture, and apply fertilizer on a regular basis. This plant loves humidity and warmth. While pruning is not necessary, if your plant becomes leggy, you can cut its vining stems back to about six inches. This infrequent pruning not only improves the overall shape of the plant, but it can encourage blooms.

Lipstick plants are known for their tubular flowers which look like the popular cosmetic. All are special, but this Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant is especially so, with larger and more noticeable leaves and with a non-stop flowering habit. It makes for a lovely, colorful houseplant that shows off a pretty red-on-green throughout the year. Flowers are scarlet, emerging from purple calyxes. You'll notice that they are larger than the flowers of other Lipstick Plants. The flowers have great impact, so you'll be glad they are long-lasting.
