Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans 'Mona Lisa')

Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant is a trailing houseplant that brings bright, warm color to shelves and hanging baskets without taking up much space. Glossy green leaves drape naturally, and clusters of tubular blooms add a playful, polished finish when the plant is happy. It is a strong choice for bright indoor spots where you want a soft cascade and a repeat show through the growing season. Give it steady warmth, bright filtered light, and good drainage, and it will stay full and attractive for the long run.

Distinctive Features

This tropical vine produces arching stems lined with thick, glossy leaves and blooms that resemble a tube of lipstick as they open. 'Mona Lisa' is best known for orange-red tubular flowers that appear in clusters, typically in spring and summer with repeat blooming possible indoors. The plant naturally trails and can reach about 2 to 3 feet long in a container, creating an easy cascading effect. Foliage stays evergreen indoors, and the combination of shine, drape, and bloom color makes it look styled even between flower flushes.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Bright, indirect light is best, and gentle morning sun is fine while harsh midday sun can scorch leaves.
  • Soil: Use a well-drained, airy potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark to prevent soggy roots.
  • Water: Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of mix feels dry, then drain thoroughly so roots never sit in water.
  • USDA Zones: USDA Zones 10 to 11 outdoors, and elsewhere grown as a houseplant.
  • Temperature: Keep warm and stable, protecting from cold drafts and temperatures below about 60 F.
  • Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity supports better flowering and cleaner foliage, especially in winter.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Hang it at eye level so the trailing stems and orange-red blooms become the main feature in a bright room.
  • Hanging Baskets: Use in baskets to showcase the natural cascade and encourage fuller, flower-covered stems.
  • Shelves and Ledges: Let it spill over edges to soften lines and add color without adding clutter.
  • Bright Bathrooms: Place in a well-lit, humid room to support stronger growth and more consistent blooming.
  • Indoor Plant Groupings: Pair with upright foliage plants to add a draping layer and a seasonal burst of color.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Pinch and trim after blooming to encourage branching and a denser, more even shape.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer to support blooms.
  • Grooming: Remove spent flowers and any yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy and vigorous.
  • Repotting: Repot only when crowded, because slightly snug roots can help keep growth and flowering balanced.
  • Pest Watch: Check occasionally for common houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites.

Why Choose Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant?

  • Bloom Color: Orange-red tubular flowers add a bold accent against glossy green foliage.
  • Trailing Habit: Cascading stems create an instant finished look in baskets and on shelves.
  • Repeat Interest: Blooms often arrive in waves, giving you color beyond a single short season.
  • Space Efficient: Delivers impact vertically and over edges without needing a large footprint.
  • Easy Styling: Looks good as a solo specimen or as the draping layer in mixed indoor displays.

If you want a plant that drapes well and still delivers real flower power, Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant is a dependable pick. Keep it in bright, filtered light, water with restraint, and maintain good drainage. With steady warmth and a bit of humidity, it will reward you with fuller growth and frequent, eye-catching blooms.

Nice dog toy but batteries were bad
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Small
Very cool product as we already had the blue babble one. Our puppy likes to watch it flash and make noise when she touches it. However, upon opening the item the same day we received it and removing the strip so it would turn on, it worked for less than a minute. After taking out the bottom screws, my husband saw corroded batteries. We are disappointed that the intact batteries were not good. Luckily we had ordered a 10 pack of batteries at the same time so were able to replace them and give the toy back to our puppy to play with. Shipment was fast. Item is very durable and both our dogs will have fun with it.

Brindle Boxer and yellow lab, 2 different approaches
Style: Talking Babble, Size: Medium
Our Brindle Boxer absolutely loves this toy! We got one of the small babble balls from a friend and "Baron" took right to it. Very funny watching him, once he realized that when he bumped or otherwise jostled it, it would talk! After about an hour of him tossing and "nosing" it around (not bad on carpet but on our hardwood floors, it can get a little grating), he started chewing on it. We're like, "OK, here we go, how long is this thing going to last now?". To our surprise, it's holding up pretty well. He's a chewer that can really munch down when he gets into a "groove" and it is taking a beating although it is not indestructible so keep an eye on it. There are 2 screws that hold the door in, which is crafted very well but be sure they are always in there tight. To avoid any issues, once we replaced the batteries the 1st time, we took out the screws and glued the door in and left the screws out. By the time the batteries are dead this time, the ball will be ready to throw out for sure. Not bad for longevity IMHO. Our dogs can chew a Kong ball up in a couple days once they get a crack in it. if there's a weak point on a dog toy, our dog will find it!....:-) Our other dog is Dusty, our yellow lab. Sweet loving dog with that "lab" mentality", all love and slobber :-) He looks at the Babble ball with mild amusement and walks on past it. Every once in awhile, he'll pick it up but that's usually only a ploy he uses when we're petting the "other one" (A name, we're sure Dusty uses when he refers to Baron). I imagine he would actually like this toy more, had Baron not taken it and cuddled it like his own new born baby the second it hit the floor and commandeered the 2nd one just as fast!! :-) The Small size one (A little larger than a golf ball) has ridges on it and takes a beating. Once it started looking haggard and the batteries started to die, we would put it up and only bring it out for short periods to prolong the life of it until we could find where these were sold. Baron had become "addicted to the darn thing! :-) He would whine and stare at it on the shelf for what seemed like hours until one of us would get it down and give it to him. Since the small one seemed just "bit small" for our Boxer for our tastes and surely too small for our lab, we decided to get the next size up. The Medium one has a smooth surface which also holds up very well although, that once "smooth surface", will start to resemble a Tennis ball after a while but it takes a licking and keeps on ticking! The "Talking" is amusing for us for about the 1st hour but it is a little loud with fresh batteries and can be annoying when watching TV or talking on the phone. After about a week though, the batteries start to drain some and the volume goes down a bit. Baron will only pick it up a few times a day from there on out so when he gets in the mood, he'll toss it around for about 15 minutes then leave it alone for a while. I can work with that. :-) All in all, We are impressed with the quality AND the "FUN FACTOR" for both us, and our Puppies! We're Babble ball fans for life! (Can we get a discount, if we buy them by the case? :-)

A GREAT FUN TOY FOR A FUR BABY, SMALL, MEDIUM OR LARGE.
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Large, Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Large
I bought this for my 4 month old ShitZhu. It is the best toy I have bought for any of my 60 years of owning a dog. This little girl, Chrissy, named for my son who was 50 and passed away 10 years ago. She is the sweetest puppy I have ever had. She loves everybody, will go to anybody, child or adult, and loves other dogs, small - medium. She weighs 5 lbs now, but will grow to about 8-12 lbs. The best size for me, as I will be 86 in a few months and needed something small enough that I could handle it. My last dog at 15 I lost a year ago. It took me that long to see if I could handle a new puppy. I am doing awesome with her. It is me and her with my daughter seeing her every day on her lunch hour. This ball is something else. She plays with it all over the house, rolls it, moves it and even picks it up with her teeth. She gets so much exercise with this ball. I just bought one for my Niece's pup Poppy when she comes over. I also bought two large ones for my Son's two Healers that love to play ball. They haven't seen them yet. One for each that they will get tomorrow. I can't say enough about this ball. It makes watching the pups play with it for entertainment so much fun. This little one has made my blood pressure gone done. I have had dogs all my life and when I lost my last one, my blood pressure went up about 4 months later. I had never had high blood pressure. Since Chrissy came into my life (2 months ago) I now have blood pressure in the 120/78 range. She will keep me young so I can life a long, healthy and happy life. My Son in Heaven is making her into a little tom boy puppy. He would love her as a girl, but he has taught her how to drink out of a dripping hose. She is so fun to watch. If you have dogs of any size, you will love getting this ball for your fur baby and watch how they play with it. This is indeed a great toy. Have a happy life with your fur babies.

Toy encourages self play and exercise. BONUS: Provides hilarious entertainment for pet owner!
Style: Animal Sounds Babble, Size: Large
My Havanese loves this toy. It keeps him occupied for long periods of time. There are so many different animal sounds...some which are a bit annoying. The good news is because there are so many different sounds, we are all spared from hearing the shrill and annoying ones repeatedly. It is a "HOOT" to watch him chase the ball around. He bats the ball back and forth between his front paws almost as if he's playing soccer. He also has two "talking" babble balls, one small and one large. Havanese are people loving people pleasers so it's not surprising he seems to like human voice phrases of Talking Babble ball. I read many reviews on this product and the Talking Babble ball prior to purchase. Several review stated the purchasers pets had successfully chewed the ball causing the interior components to be exposed and thus caused a choking hazard. I ordered the toy anyway. My 9 month old Havanese is an active playful pup, but has barely made a scratch mark on either size of these balls. He doesn't chew on the balls he chases them. If your dog is a small breed, I do not think you need to be worried about this toy being a safety hazard. I only gave the product 4 stars because despite my purchase of the largest size, the ball still gets caught/lost under the couch, china cabinet, TV hutch, as well as the refrigerator and kitchen cabinets toe kicks....UGH. I purchase a fantastic pet playpen when I was in the thick of house training my puppy. I've tried putting the balls in the playpen, leaving both pen doors open. Although large enough for him to roll and chase the balls...he tries to flip them over the bottom lip of the pen and out the door. He has been successful in his attempts, but he has been successful at moving the playpen at least 4-5 feet while trying. Hmmm... It's frustrating, as I have STOP my activities & work often to retrieve the balls that have rolled under furniture etc. I've tried using long strips of cardboard boxes to block various problem ball "disappearsing" spaces. Not only is the cardboard unattractive, but it seems the spaces are never ending. 😜 I have considered buying plexiglass and cutting it into the necessary lengths etc. YEPPER...TO MUCH WORK!!! So my request is: " Pet Qwerks, My dog loves your product and so do I. Please make the same toy but in a larger size so that it does get caught under the bottom of average height furnishings ( 4.5 inches in diameter) . I suggest a 5" diameter ball."
