The Rasta Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans 'Rasta' or 'Curly') is a trailing tropical houseplant known for its densely twisted, glossy green leaves and bright red, tube-shaped flowers that emerge from dark maroon buds. 
Plant Features
  • Appearance: Features thick, curled, and twisted leaves on cascading vines that grow up to 80 cm long.
  • Blooms: Produces vibrant red tubular flowers that look like a tube of lipstick sliding out of its case.
  • Pet Safety: Safe and non-toxic for cats and dogs.
  • Care Requirements
  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. A few hours of gentle morning sun helps encourage blooming, but harsh afternoon sun can scorch the leaves.
  • Watering: Water when the top quarter to third of the soil is dry in spring and summer. Allow it to dry out slightly more in the winter. Avoid soggy soil to prevent root rot. 
  • Humidity: Enjoys moderate-to-high indoor humidity.
  • Temperature: Keep in warm indoor spaces between 21°C and 28°C, away from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops
