Curly Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus)
$70.00
Blooms like tiny red lipsticks, leaves like dark curls. The Curly Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans) twists glossy foliage down every stem and tips it with scarlet flowers in flushes through the year.
Hang it where the vines can fall freely and it becomes a living piece of decor: part trailing plant, part recurring bouquet.
Curly Lipstick Plant care
- Light: Bright indirect light brings the heaviest bloom.
- Water: Water once the top third of the soil dries, a bit less in winter.
- Spot: Hanging planters and high shelves show off the curl.
- Pets: Generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Non-toxic does not mean edible; discourage chewing.
- Growth: Trailing stems that thicken into a full curtain.
How do I get a Lipstick Plant to bloom?
Light plus a touch of patience. Park it near a bright window, let it get slightly root snug in its pot, and ease off water a little in late winter. The stress free version of stress is what triggers those red tips.
