Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Curly variety different from regular Lipstick Plants?
The Curly variety features uniquely twisted and curled leaves that create much more textural interest and dynamic movement than straight-leafed lipstick plants. The curly foliage adds incredible visual drama to the cascading display while still producing the same spectacular red tubular flowers.

With proper bright light and care, your Curly Lipstick Plant will produce stunning bright red tubular flowers that literally look like lipstick extending from dark burgundy tubes! Blooming typically occurs in spring and summer, and the dramatic flowers are absolutely worth the wait.
How can I encourage more blooming?
Provide bright, indirect light (essential for blooming), maintain consistent moisture without overwatering, and feed regularly during growing season. Pinching growing tips encourages bushier growth with more flowering sites, and removing spent flowers promotes continued blooming.

Yes! Aeschynanthus plants are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their spectacular curly cascading foliage and vibrant red blooms safely throughout their home.

Baby bumps and bodyguards
Format: Kindle
Dark, emotional, and unexpectedly tender, Not Ready is an omegaverse romance that delivers found family feels, fierce protectiveness, and a very pregnant heroine who refuses to break. Vale’s on the run from a stalker, but lands in the arms of three private security alphas, cue the swoony tension, fake marriage twist, and slow-burn heat.
It’s a little gritty, a little soft, and a whole lot addictive. If you love protective alphas, high stakes, and heroines with quiet strength, this one’s a must-read.

Strong Omegaverse Comfort and a Attention Grabbing Plot
Format: Kindle
Jillian West never misses when it comes to Omegaverse, and Not Ready is no exception. This story was the perfect blend of cozy comfort and emotional depth while still delivering a strong plot.
Vale is such a powerful heroine, she is strong, capable, and determined but I love that she still allows her pack to love and take care of her. It’s that balance of independence and vulnerability that makes her so relatable.
The relationship dynamics were amazing: Bishop is steadfast and completely head over heels, Mercy is skeptical but protective in his own way, and Holt is the hesitant one whose slow fall is so satisfying to watch unfold.
The romance hits that sweet spot between insta-love and cautious build, keeping me hooked the entire way through. And that ending. Oh my god, the cliffhanger! I need the next book in this duet immediately.

Interesting
Format: Kindle
So I will say I enjoyed the story, for sure had its moments where it dragged but it was a great story. I really liked that omegas picked their alphas/make the pack. Normally the Alphas make it and the omega fits in with them which is great but I enjoyed this new version where all the power basically went to the omega. It was a nice change of pace. I can admit some of the weird bedroom stuff with her being pregnant was odd, it’s really not hard to do stuff when pregnant (I know I’ve had two and it’s normal and even encouraged at the end especially if you want the baby out). But I like the story as a whole and will read the second, I do hope the next one isn’t dragged bc it stopped being action or tense after she met her alphas and I don’t think it was brought up or properly done when they tried to do it. More sweet after she left.
