It’s beautiful!! I get that - whenever people come over, I’m always secretly hoping they’ll comment on my plants so I can talk about them, but it rarely happens 😅 Sometimes people mention the orchids, but that’s it!

I neeeeed to know if it’s normal that this thing is SO thirsty. It’s drying out SO fast!! I mean…it looks healthy, it’s blooming…the soil \& roots look good. Lots of fine bark in the soil so that’s contributing to the fast drying I suppose but this thing is bone dry every other day 😮‍💨 it seems so weird given the thick leaves idk

That is interesting! I don’t know much about lipstick plants but yeah it looks beautiful and healthy! I guess it also depends on how much light it’s getting too. My plants in the windows definitely need to be watered more than the ones just under grow lights
