I imagine the best scenario for many of these rare tropicals would be 10-12" wide pots filled with moist rich soil (high in peat & compost) in a nice greenhouse. In the way of germination the only information given me was that they needed to be soaked in warm water for 2 hours, planted 1/4" in sterilized seed starting mix, or lightly press seed into soil and then cover with vermiculite. Cover pot to create greenhouse humidity and give bright indirect sun/or place under Florescent lights...keeping it environment temp 65 night & 70's by day. When time to plant outside-it requires rich soil & partial shade. I've seen pictures where Hot Lips was growing wild in a backyard in Mississippi. Amazingly, the plant acted like an vine as it twined around a nice shade tree...blowing kisses to everyone!

No problem Gil...I still have a lots of exotics to surprise you with :) But...I do believe Hot Lips ranks as the rarest of them all.

F&W I was bidding but I was afraid that I would kill it. Not sure it wouldn't get too cold here. I have a lot of plants but It is too precious to let that happen. Hope whoever gets it takes GOOD care of it. BEAUTIFUL plant! Have a Blessed day.

I love this, so cute and looks so real. For a second I thought it was real lips. Nice, watching this one.

ty...is nature too cool? Some have nicknamed it the Mick Jagger BUT my vote is 100% Marilyn Monroe~the queen of lips.

Well hello Ms. Piggykins! Aren't you a sweetie. I do believe this flower pales to the beauty that is you. So tell me...do garden? And do you have anything wonderful growing in your room or a nice community garden?
