Rasta Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans 'Rasta')

Rasta Lipstick Plant is a trailing houseplant that adds instant personality with tightly curled leaves that tumble over the edge of a pot or hanging basket. It is easy to live with in bright indoor light, and it rewards steady care with vivid red tubular blooms that pop against the dark foliage. The cascading habit makes it a natural fit for shelves and high spots where you want greenery without giving up surface space. If you like plants that look a little wild but still feel polished, this one delivers.

Distinctive Features

This cultivar is prized for its twisted, curly, dark green leaves that create a dense, rope-like cascade as the stems lengthen. Bright red tubular flowers emerge from darker buds, giving the classic lipstick-plant look, with heaviest bloom often in late summer to early fall under good light. Stems can trail several feet over time, and the plant stays fuller when regularly pinched and trimmed. It is grown mainly for indoor display, where warm temperatures, humidity, and good drainage keep it looking its best.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Bright, indirect light, with gentle morning sun tolerated and harsh direct sun avoided.
  • Soil: A loose, well-drained potting mix, such as a houseplant mix amended with extra perlite or orchid bark.
  • Water: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, then drain excess so roots never sit in water.
  • USDA Zones: 10 to 11.
  • Mature Size: About 12 to 24 inches tall in the pot with trailing stems about 2 to 3 feet long.
  • Habit: Trailing and cascading with dense, curly foliage.
  • Foliage: Dark green, tightly curled leaves that create a twisted, textured look.
  • Flowers: Red tubular flowers that typically bloom in late summer to early fall indoors.
  • Fruit: Not ornamental.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Hang it where the curly foliage and red blooms can steal the spotlight in a bright room.
  • Hanging Baskets: Let stems cascade freely for the fullest, most dramatic display.
  • Shelf Trailers: Place on a high shelf so the twisted foliage drapes down like living decor.
  • Bright Bathrooms: Use the extra humidity to keep leaves lush and encourage better blooming.
  • Indoor Collections: Pair with simpler-leaved plants to highlight its unique texture.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Pinch and trim after blooming or anytime to keep the plant bushy and encourage fresh growth.
  • Humidity: Provide moderate to high humidity and good air circulation to keep foliage looking clean.
  • Feeding: Fertilize lightly in spring and summer to support growth and flowering.
  • Temperature: Keep it warm and avoid cold drafts, since chilling can cause leaf drop.
  • Repotting: Repot when rootbound, stepping up only one pot size to avoid overly wet soil.

Why Choose Rasta Lipstick Plant?

  • Curly Texture: Twisted leaves create a look that stands out from typical trailing houseplants.
  • Bright Blooms: Red tubular flowers add bold color when light and warmth are consistent.
  • Space Saving Habit: Trailing growth is perfect for hanging baskets and shelves.
  • Easy Indoor Fit: Thrives in bright, indirect light with straightforward watering.
  • Year-Round Interest: Foliage stays decorative even when the plant is not in bloom.

If you want a trailing plant with real character, Rasta Lipstick Plant is an excellent choice. Give it bright light, good drainage, and a steady watering rhythm, and it will build a dense cascade of curls with flashes of red bloom when the season is right.

Silky and Soothing
Color: Cream, Size: 2 Pack Queen(20"X 30")
I thought I was getting 1 of the queen sized but I got 2. I got these for my Pomeranian's fuzzy pillow. He's always hot and these are very cooling and very good quality. He loves them and are very comfortable for him. They totally transformed his shaggy old pillow. I used the larger body pillow covers to replace the covers I had. They matched my bedspread perfectly. I use 2 body pillows along the exterior wall in my bedroom where there is cold coming through the floor in the winter. I'm sure I will enjoy them in the summer when it's hot too!

So soft and amazing quality
Color: 12 - Light Beige, Size: Twin
I can't tell you if they're cooling or not yet. The weather took a turn for the cold so I haven't put them on the bed yet. But the quality..omg it's exceptional! These are insanely soft! Not slippery like satin but not scratchy like percale. They're like the best of both worlds..light as satin but nicely weighty like percale. I don't know what kind of sorcery this is but these are literally better than those 6-zillion count Egyptian cotton sheets that cost more than the GDP of a small nation. These are exceptional!! Soft as butter but still feel like they'll last a while and not let you fall out of bed like silk lol. When you fold them, they snap nicely. They seem to have a lived in look..like they'll never be utterly wrinkle-free but who cares..they're smooth, soft and supposed to be cooling. I never thought I'd find anything more comfortable than cotton sheets but these are even better. The colors are ok. Pretty basic but they are true to life..some others look different online than when you get them..not these colors online are accurate. This was a great deal and I'd recommend a thousand times over!

The softest sheets ever! 💙
Color: 05 - Dusty Blue, Size: Queen, Color: 05 - Dusty Blue, Size: Queen
This sheets quality feels great! It feels a little heavy but comfortable. I love the way it just drops. It feels cool to the touch, and so so gently on my skin! I previous had gotten a 100% cotton sheets from this same brand and it feels soooo rough on my skin, but this one is great! Best money spent! Bamboo material! I'm never going back! I got the dusty blue, in the photo is looks gray because of light but I love the blue color, it looks great!

Comfy, cool
Color: 01 - Dark Grey, Size: Queen
This is my first time buying rayon/ bamboo sheets, and now I finally see what I've been missing. Very comfortable, soft, and feel really nice against the skin. Nice for this price point too. I took off one star because they do tend to wrinkle quickly, so I have to readjust them every night before going to bed. Also be aware that oil from your skin and hair products tend to stain them very quickly, and the stains are not easy to get out. But I'm ok with that as a trade-off for the comfort!
