The Lipstick Plant 'Curly', scientifically known as Aeschynanthus radicans 'Curly', is a charming and whimsical tropical plant that features glossy, curly foliage and vibrant tubular red flowers. Its cascading growth habit makes it a fantastic choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or as a trailing accent piece.

Native to Southeast Asia, this plant gets its name from its flowers, which resemble a tube of lipstick emerging from a bud. It thrives in warm, humid environments and adds a lively, tropical flair to any indoor space.

  • Common Names: Lipstick Plant 'Curly', Curly Lipstick Plant
  • Botanical Name: Aeschynanthus radicans 'Curly'
  • Size: Grows up to 12-24 inches long as a trailing plant.

Care Instructions

  1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage blooming. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
  2. Water: Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot.
  3. Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier in dry environments.
  4. Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Reduce feeding in fall and winter.
  5. Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
  6. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter, such as one formulated for tropical plants.
