Black Pagoda Aeschynanthus 8” Hanging Basket—A Botanical Performer in Your Home Stage

Meet the Black Pagoda Aeschynanthus 8”, a plant that’s as thoughtful as you are. Known as the “Lipstick Plant” for its tubular red blooms that peek out like a swipe of your boldest lipstick, this beauty pairs drama with devotion. Its cascading vines are patterned in mesmerizing mosaic-like foliage—deep green tops and purplish undersides—that look like they’ve been painted in shadows and sunlight.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Bright, indirect light makes this plant feel like a superstar—keep it near a window but out of harsh rays.

• Water: Let the top inch of soil dry out before watering; it’s not a fan of soggy roots (who is?).

• Humidity: Loves a steamy environment. Bathrooms with bright light? Chef’s kiss. Otherwise, a misting or humidifier helps.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: New growth trailing down and the occasional bloom = you’re doing great.

• Needs TLC: Pale leaves or leaf drop? It may need more light or less water—adjust and watch it bounce back.

Good News for Pet Parents:

Unfortunately, not pet-safe. Best to keep it out of nibbling reach if you’ve got curious cats or dogs.

Extra Love for Detail Lovers:

• The 8” size refers to the diameter of the hanging nursery pot, not the full length of the plant’s lush trails.

• Your Black Pagoda Aeschynanthus will arrive in its nursery pot—any hanging baskets or ceramics shown are for styling inspo only.

• At 3B’s Flowers, we photograph every plant in-house, but nature doesn’t do clones. Expect unique leaf patterns and personality!

Symbolism with Style:

This plant symbolizes creativity and mystery—perfect for studios, reading nooks, or anyone who dances to their own rhythm. Gift it to the introvert who loves a little flair or the bold friend who is the vibe.
