Common questions
Is it safe for cats and dogs?
Yes. The ASPCA lists the lipstick plant as non-toxic to cats and dogs. A pet that eats a lot of any plant may get a mild upset stomach, but it won't be poisoned.
Why isn't it flowering?
Usually not enough light. Move it to a brighter spot with indirect light. Blooms are heaviest in spring and summer.
