Description
Aeschynanthus ‘Rasta’, also known as the Curly Lipstick Plant, is one of those plants that instantly adds character to a room. Its twisted, curly vines give it a really unique look that works perfectly on shelves or in hanging pots where the trailing growth can properly spill over the sides. It’s a great choice if you want something a bit more unusual that still feels relaxed and easy to style around the home.
As it grows, the curly vines become fuller and longer, creating that soft jungle-style look that makes a space feel more alive. With the right conditions, it can also produce bright red lipstick-shaped flowers, which stand out beautifully against the deep green foliage and make the plant even more rewarding to grow.
It’s surprisingly easy to care for too. Just keep it somewhere bright but out of strong direct sunlight, and let the soil dry slightly between waterings. Once it settles in, it’s a fairly low-maintenance plant that happily gets on with things and continues to grow with very little fuss.
