Lipstick Plants

Q.My lipstick plants get dried limbs on the end and leaves drop.

Zone Lexington, SC | Anonymous added on October 23, 2020 | Answered

I have an old plant and also two new ones. They all have the same problem. The old one has new leaves and growth near the end of the vine but no leaves near the soil. It still blooms every year, but not as much as in years past. The new ones were sent through the mail and have the same problem but they look healthy and are growing.

I can take a picture but cannot download to my computer.

I'm wondering if they have enough humidity. This plant is actually a jungle native, and requires similar conditions to thrive. Here's an article that will help:
