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.

Worthwhile!
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Turkey Day Drumstick - Large
I have a small dog with a really strong bite! Usually have to buy toys that are meant for bigger dogs. This has lasted us for what feels like forever. It does sound very heavy when dropped! My dog loves it though! Would definitely recommend!

Foreign body risk for dinosaur dogs
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
My dog Bert had foreign body surgery 10 days ago because he swallowed a piece of a toy, so I was looking for something stronger, like for a tyrannosaurus rex. This toy had good reviews, so I bought it for him. In 25 minutes and he'd chomped a chunk of the blue water part off. Bought the toy around 8am, gave it to him around 8pm, and it was in the trash by 8:30pm. This toy is definitely NOT for super chewer tyrannosaurus rex dogs like Bert. But definitely IS a toy that is pretty sturdy and strong for dogs who don't have the bite force of a dinosaur.

Definitely not indestructable
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
I have a 1-year-old toy fox terrier (Rocky, pictured). He has been chewing on this toy for seven months now; it is one of his favorites. He has been unable to seriously damage the "ocean" portion of this toy, but as you can see from the provided image, the sea serpent has not faired that well. It is missing its snout and smaller portions of the humps. My guess is that the advertiser images showing much larger dogs with "like new" versions of the toy are just that...NEW AND UNCHEWED. I have not had to clean up bits of this toy from my floor, so I assume Rocky has been swallowing them. My hope is that the yellow material of the serpent is not chemically dangerous when exposed to digestive fluids. Rocky easily destroys plush toys in a matter of days if not hours and, consumed pieces of a small microfiber blanket that he liked to toss around and play tug-of-war with (past tense as he destroyed it and has since been trashed after I began finding feces-stained undigested pieces of it lying around). Since this toy has survived seven months and has remained recognizable, I have to agree it is durable. Just beware, if my small toy fox terrier can damage the toy as pictured, expect your large breed chewer to do similar or worse damage. Also, the toy is very heavy! When Rocky drops it down a flight of stairs, it makes a MAJOR thud at the bottom, and sometimes makes me wonder if it might crack the large tile at the bottom. I cautiously recommend the product. Note the yellow frisbee in Rocky's picture. It is only a few months old and surprisingly has not suffered any chew damage despite substantial abuse. It appears to bend in the wind like a proverbial reed, evading damage by yielding to pressure.

Dog loves it! For tough chewers for sure
Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large, Size: Medium/Large, Color: Dog Ness Monster - Large
Dog absolutely loves it, he’s super rough on all of his toys they usually last about 10 minutes bore they are torn to shreds. It’s lasting through his chewing so I’m happy. It’s also super cute.
