    So nice to see someone else with this plant! The flowers are really unique. Mine recently started blooming as well. I think itā€™s their leaves that I love the most, though. Hereā€™s a tip: if you want the undersides of the leaves to be a brighter color, putting mine in a south-facing windowsill that gets 6-8 hours of sunlight did the trick. Yours looks great so far! Good luck with it! šŸ˜Š (And as another tip, Iā€™ve spotted a few of this type of lipstick plant at my local Loweā€™s lately, including in the clearance section. If you donā€™t mind rehabbing a plant a little, thatā€™s a cheaper way to make your plant fuller in less time.)

      Why, thank you ā˜ŗļø I canā€™t take too much credit for her, though. I went to The Rhoads Garden in North Wales, PA, and they had pretty large ones in 3-in pots for $7! I bought two and combined them to form the one pictured šŸ˜Š Iā€™ve learned from mine that they enjoy being in a well-draining mix, so I repotted mine with Espomaā€™s Organic Cactus and Succulent Mix, and I water mine every 12-14 days (typically 12 in the warmer months, and Iā€™ll be pushing it back to 14 in the cooler months by the end of this month). Iā€™ve also learned that they tend to grow a little faster if theyā€™re more snug in their pots, so while they both came in 3-in pots, when I combined them, I used one of the 3-in pots they came in and made sure the pot was no more than 1-2 inches wider in diameter than the width of the combined plantā€™s root ball. Iā€™ve read keeping them more rootbound can help them produce blooms too.
