Easy to Love, Easy to Grow
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.
