Its cascading growth habit makes it a fantastic choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a trailing accent piece.
Native to Southeast Asia, this plant gets its name from its flowers, which resemble a tube of lipstick emerging from a bud. It thrives in warm, humid environments and adds a lively, tropical flair to any indoor space.
