Lipstick Plant ‘Rasta’ (Aeschynanthus ‘Rasta’)
Lipstick Plant ‘Rasta’ is a unique tropical houseplant known for its twisted, curly foliage and vibrant tubular flowers. The glossy green leaves grow in tight spirals along trailing stems, giving the plant a playful, textured appearance that stands out from other houseplants.
During its blooming season, the plant produces bright red tubular flowers that emerge from dark buds, resembling a tube of lipstick. These eye catching blooms add a bold splash of color and contrast beautifully with the deep green, curled foliage.
Lipstick Plant ‘Rasta’ grows with a trailing habit, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, elevated planters, or shelves where the stems can cascade naturally. As the plant matures, the vines become fuller and create an attractive, flowing display.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps encourage flowering and healthy growth. While it can tolerate moderate light conditions, brighter filtered light will typically produce the best results.
Lipstick plants prefer well draining soil and moderate watering. Allow the top portion of the soil to dry slightly between waterings, then water thoroughly. Avoid letting the plant sit in overly wet soil.
With its curly foliage, trailing stems, and vibrant red blooms, Lipstick Plant ‘Rasta’ adds texture, movement, and tropical charm to indoor plant collections.
