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.

Better than I expected!
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
I have two pitbulls who can destroy any toy! My youngest one likes to chew on my fluffy slippers. She doesn't hurt them, just chews on the fur. I give her a lot of heck for this but she has an affinity for them. I decided to buy her a stuffed dog toy and she loved it! She proudly carried it with her everywhere and would throw it up in the air and catch it. She was as happy as she could be. The problem was that after a few days, my 5-year-old pittie wanted to get in on the action and they turned it into a tug of war. Five minutes later it was in pieces on the floor. I decided to see if there was such a thing as a cloth toy for aggressive chewers. I found these! They weren't that expensive, so I thought, "what the heck", I'll give them a try! They arrived the next day! I took two out of the pack and within two or three days they had killed the squeakers in both of them, and I was thankful! The squeaking was loud and they could not get enough of it. There were three squeakers in each toy! After the squeakers were gone, they seemed to lose interest. So I started doing tug of war with them. Pretty soon they were doing it with each other. I didn't expect them to last a day! However, it has been almost a month and they are still pretty much intact. I mean these dogs are for real and they pull as hard as they can and they still have not ripped them apart. And it's great exercise! There are a few small holes in them but they are not getting bigger. I guess that is how they got the squeakers out! Even the eyes on these toys are still there. I put the third one away for when these two are demolished, but I think I will order another pack of three. That will give me four all together! That should keep them busy for quite a while! I just want everyone to know that I am pretty limited with my reviews. I don't bother unless I really have something to say, so you can totally believe what I am saying! I don't think you will be upset with this purchase, unless you don't like saliva soaked toys and/or your dog is prone to swallowing it's toys. It is very hard for me to imagine a dog swallowing one of these. From the top of their heads to the tip of their tails they are over a foot long!

Good quality. Decent price.
Style: Fox, Raccoon, Squirrel
The small size is perfect for my 13# dog, but I was somehow under the impression that one squeaker was in the head while the other was in the tail (and that might be the case for rhe larger size), but one us in the main body, with the other in the tail. The head is flat, and there's no way to push the sqeaker in the body up into the head. Ordinarily, this wouldn't matter -- and my dog LOVES the one I gave him so far; he's squeaking up a storm! -- but I bought these toys specifically so I could fill the (presumably empty, but in reality not) body between head and tail with chopped up pool noodles so my paraplegic dog could take it into the water treadmill treatment he's starting in a couple weeks. I wanted something that would float and be largely waterproof (no fluff inside in case he drops it in the water), that he could hold in his mouth instead of wearing a muzzle. I've rated these toys 4 stars because he does love them, they seem well made, and they're pretty affordable. I would buy them again, though not for the same purpose. (He hates rubber toys, so this was my last hope. Lol?)

Strong Chewer Friendly Toy
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
My dog is a rough chewer and these last a really long time (clearly since this beaver's face is long gone! The no stuffing is a win too for cleaning up afterwards.

The Ad got me, the reality didn't
Style: Variety Pack - Large (3-pack)
Directly from the ad- "Exclusive Noisemakers - Each large toy includes 3 high-quality round squeakers to deliver more sound to keep your best friend entertained.". Now my neighbor bought this squirrel with three high-quality squeakers nearly a year ago. It's ragged and tattered I just recently sewed it up for him where he chewed the one leg odd, but those three noise makers are still squeaking. Whe I got my pup, I immediately went to buy one and they were no longer selling them, so I've been on a search for one or an equivalent. These are not. There's no stuffing to get all over the place when your pup breaks into it, a plus. However the squeakers weren't particularly loud and were silenced in a few hours. Two were dead and the remaining one was very well on its way. The toy itself was pretty much intact but that had more to do with the lack of attention from the dog than how rugged the toy is. He'll pick it up once in a while but it certainly didn't meet my expectations. The good thing is that there are three of them so I can give him some brief excitement in the future. Wouldn't buy again.
