Scientific Name
Aeschynanthus (disgraced flower)

Common Name
Lipstick Plant, Lipstick Vine

Origin
Native to Malaysia and Indonesia

Description
The Lipstick plant gets its name from the shape and colour of its bright red flowers; the developing buds grow long and thin, and closed at the end like a tube of lipstick, until the flowers open. This bright red contrasts with the lush green vining foliage to bring an explosion of colour to your home. Look after this plant, keep its moisture levels and light levels balanced, and it will reward you with a display of bright green foliage and bright red flowers!

Light
Bright, indirect light is best; your Lipstick Plant can stand a couple of hours of morning or evening sun but beyond that will start to scorch. Close to a north, east or west-facing window would be well-suited.

Water
Let the top couple of inches of soil dry out between waters; the pot should feel light before you water it again. Reduce in winter to replicate its natural dormancy, and avoid coldwater when in bloom as this can shock the plant and cause it to drop flowers.

Humidity
Likes high humidity, so will benefit from regular misting or the introduction of a humidity tray. If you're misting make sure the foliage can dry as moisture that settles in the flowers or vines can cause issues with blight and mildew.

Soil
Use a well-draining, airy soil so this epiphyte can feel a bit of air on its roots! A mix designed for Anthuriums or Orchids would work well. Repotting can shock the plant so repot only when necessary; this is usually every couple of years in spring. If it is slightly potbound you're more likely to get flowers!

Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.

Temperature
Ideally likes room temperatures of 18-26°C; make sure it doesn't drop below 15°C in winter.

Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!

Sprouts Top Tips
With the Lipstick Plant, it's key to balancing moisture. The plant is adapted to a humid environment but is susceptible to rot if its soil doesn't dry out quickly enough or is too cold, or if the foliage is left wet for a longer period. Make sure your plant has both moisture and light, and keep a close eye out for rapidly yellowing leaves (your soil is too damp), crispy leaf edges (too much sun/ too close to a radiator/ too dry air), and mildewy leaves (not enough light, foliage is sitting damp)

No Instructions - Easy to build and study
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I ordered 3, and my wife loves the look of them. They seem to support a decent amount of weight. I supervised my 7 year old (55 lbs) as she scaled a single shelf bracket up the wall after it was mounted, without the planks. You do need to have some amount of handiness to be looking at buying as it does not come assembled, and does not have the wood planks with it. A little learning curve I had. Keep the rods only hand snug, not tight, snug, and then as you put it up to the wall adjust as needed to get the heights and widths right to the opposing shelf. There is also only 8 pipe brackets to hold the shelves down (2 per shelf) and I did not realize this at first and assumed I had 16 (4 per shelf). I had to go back and fix.

Game changing storage!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I love the shelves. I got to use my own wood which was a reclaimed piece that I found and sanded and then stained. I'm so proud to see them on the shelves. It got so much clutter corralled from around the room and put in one place where it all looks good displayed together. The support pieces are very good quality and I found this to be very good value for the price. I'm very happy with this item.

Good all around, some imperfections on threads difficult to screw together
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
I received a complete product as advertised, it's a solid steel design with everything you need to mounted included. One small issue I encountered is that the pieces screw together but they wouldn't screw all the way it felt difficult and possibly if forced the steel might crack. Unfairly enough other pieces did completely screw in. So it's probably because of imperfections on the threads.

Build w/ a Friend, and BYOL (Bring Your Own Level)
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Definitely a two-person job. Not because it's heavy, but a little awkward at first. I installed the first bracket, and my 12 yo assisted. Then, she hung the second bracket, and I assisted. Have a level handy. I didn't want to roll the dice and allow her to hang from the bracket, but it seems super-strong. We hung the brackets 32" apart, and 6" overhang, i.e. 48" x 12" laminate shelves. Gorgeous.

Nice, sturdy kit...would buy again!
Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount, Size: 4-tier, Style: wall mount&floor mount
Purchasing this kit instead of each piece of pipe and fittings required was a no-brainer. It was especially easy because all pieces are prepainted. It went together with ease. Mounting was simple with planning, measurements, and a level. *Note* I purchase the pine stair treads from Home Depot that are 1" thick and then chemically aged them before adding polycrylic. It is cheaper than plywood and shelving boards, and a full 1" thick rather than 1x12 shelving.
