This curly cutie isn’t just a plant — it’s a conversation starter. The Aeschynanthus radicans, better known as the Lipstick Plant, gets its name from the bright red tubular blooms it produces — but even without flowers, it shines. Its lush, glossy leaves curl and twist like nature’s version of a perm, giving it serious shelf appeal year-round.
Perfect for a hanging basket or a bright spot on a bookshelf, this trailing beauty thrives on bright, indirect light and a bit of benign neglect.
Whether it blooms or not, this plant’s got personality in spades. A must-have for collectors of the quirky, curly, and slightly wild.
| Position | Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, ample indirect sunlight encourages blooming and maintains vibrant foliage. |
| Temperature | Prefers temperatures between 16°C and 29°C. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes to prevent stress. |
| Water | Water regularly in the warmer months but allow to dry out between waterings. Keep on the dry side in colder climates in winter. |
| Fertiliser | During its growing season (spring and summer), a light feed with a balanced fertiliser every month will encourage healthy growth. |
| Repotting | Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant has outgrown its current pot. |
| Pet Friendly | Lipstick Plant are Pet Friendly |
