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.

Durable and fun
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium/Large
I have two dogs and I only bought one bone over a month ago. They’ve both been chewing on it and it’s held up really well. I wouldn’t say they’re aggressive chewers, but they do like chewing. They’re still picking it up and using it, so they’re definitely not bored with it. As for me, it’s been a pretty great buy.

Tough Chew!
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: Medium
Sporn is a very tough chew. We have a 22pound Beagle 1 year old. She spend little time working on the Hard plastic that encases the marrow. Now I don't doubt there are some dogs that would chew this mindlessly for the small marrow treat. It is not for my pup! She needs more play to keep at it. A TOUGH CHEW would be better slightly less thick and more marrow inside. I attached a string and had her whirly birding around chasing this bone but once we let go she has a 30 second interest. Not for every dog maybe for the big guys 100 lb brutus !

Dogs are enjoying it!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium/Large
I just got this bone today but so far my dogs love it. They have been playing with it and alternating who’s chewing on it. My 8 month old got the blue rubber piece off in about 10 minutes, so if that’s the primary factor for purchasing, note that.

lasted 3 days
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: Medium
I have a 10 m.o. Aussie who is in chronic chew stage. I was hoping that this bone would last longer than Benebone. Watching pup chew her little heart out, I noticed she was tearing off little pieces of the plastic bone and swallowing them. Threw out. Wish I'd returned. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SUPER CHEWERS

I like it, but
Flavor Name: Wishbone, Size: Large
Two large dogs, two different experiences. They both loved the toy, but one chewed it up within a couple of weeks - much longer than most toys last for him. The other one still loves it and uses it daily,(has had it for two months) but if I don't trim off the sharp points that form, it gets blood from his gums on it. Would still recommend it as each dog is different. Worth a try.
