Curly Lipstick Plant

The Curly Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans 'Curly') brings a wonderfully quirky, cascading element to your indoor spaces with its fascinating twisted foliage and bright, tubular red blooms that emerge just like a fresh tube of lipstick. You will love watching this trailing beauty spill over the edges of a hanging basket or a tall bookshelf, effortlessly adding a splash of vibrant color and unique texture to your home as it cascades one to two feet in length. Best of all, you can enjoy this dramatic flowering vine with complete peace of mind, knowing it is entirely non-toxic and pet-safe for your roaming cats and dogs.

To get those signature red blooms to pop, you will want to give your Curly Lipstick Plant plenty of bright, indirect sunlight, like the kind you find near a sunny east-facing window. Too much direct afternoon sun can scorch its uniquely curled leaves, but insufficient light will keep it from flowering. Because it originates as an epiphyte in tropical canopies, it thrives in well-draining soil and prefers to dry out just a bit between waterings. Give it a thorough soak when the top two inches of soil feel dry, allowing the excess water to drain completely from the bottom of the pot, and you will be rewarded with healthy roots and a stunning floral display right in your living room.
