Did you know that with the right care, your Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant can bloom all year? While most plants only flower seasonally, this plant’s ability to continuously produce its striking red flowers makes it a favorite for plant enthusiasts looking for vibrant, long-lasting color.


History of the Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant

Native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, the Black Pagoda Lipstick Plant was traditionally used as an ornamental plant in its native regions. Its beautiful foliage and long-lasting blooms caught the attention of horticulturists around the world, leading to its widespread cultivation as a popular houseplant. Its name comes from the unique "lipstick" appearance of its flower buds, which resemble lipstick tubes before they bloom. Today, it's prized not only for its exotic beauty but also for its easy-to-grow nature, making it a common choice for plant lovers looking to bring a tropical touch indoors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping

How do you ship your plants?

We carefully package each plant with love by hand right from our shop in Brooklyn. Extra steps are taken to ensure that every leaf arrives in pristine shape by using polyfill and encapsulating the plant in a protective paper sleeve. The soil is also hydrated before shipping so that the plant has plenty of water for it's travel to your doorstep. We offer several shipping speeds, so please choose the one that you feel comfortable with depending on your location. 

Will my plant look like the one on the website?

Awesome question, we're glad you asked. Given the nature of our plant shop, we're constantly moving plants in and out of the shop, making it difficult and borderline impossible to keep an exact picture of each plant. In addition to the constantly rotating crop, we often grow in batches of 6, 12, or sometimes more! With this quantity we are unable to take a photo of each and every plant. The photos that we attach to each product listing is going to be of a plant that represents the average size and fullness of that set of plants. Some may be slightly larger or smaller, but in general, similar.

Do you include heat packs with your plants?

We offer Heat Packs for sale separately from the plants in 40, 60 and 72 hour increments. Please add a heat pack or two to your order if you live in an area where your order may be affected during transit by cold temperatures. We are not responsible for orders that are placed and damage is incurred to the plant if a heat pack is not purchased.

Which heat pack should I choose?

Heat packs come in three different increments, so please choose the appropriate hour increment depending on the speed of shipping that you choose during checkout. For example, if you choose a cheaper shipping option that will take longer, please select the 72 hour heat pack. If you've chosen a shorter method of shipping, the 40 or 60 hour increment would work! We like to encourage our customers to always get more than you need, just to be on the safe side!
