Aeschynanthus Rasta – Lipstick Plant with Twisting Foliage

The Aeschynanthus Rasta, also known as the Lipstick Plant, is a unique and eye-catching trailing houseplant named for its tubular red blooms that emerge like a lipstick from a case. This variety features tightly curled, glossy green foliage that gives the plant a wild, sculptural appearance—perfect for creating visual interest in hanging planters or shelf displays.

How often should I water the Aeschynanthus Rasta?: Water the plant regularly, aiming to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot. This typically means watering once a week, but adjust according to your home’s humidity levels.
Is the Aeschynanthus Rasta suitable for beginners?: Yes, this plant is an excellent choice for beginners. It’s easy to care for and tolerates a range of indoor conditions, though it thrives best in bright, indirect light. Its forgiving nature makes it ideal for those new to indoor gardening.
Can the Aeschynanthus Rasta be grown in a terrarium?: While typically grown as a hanging or trailing plant, it can also be adapted to terrarium settings if ample space is provided for its vines to trail. Ensure the terrarium has adequate ventilation to handle the humidity this plant prefers.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Aeschynanthus Rasta thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight might scorch the leaves, so a spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be perfect.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

This plant likes its soil to be lightly moist but not soggy. Water it regularly, especially during the growing season, letting the topsoil dry out slightly between waterings.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

Aeschynanthus Rasta prefers average room temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid placing it near cold drafts or heating vents.

💧 Humidity

💧💧💧 (High)

Loving a humid environment, this plant is a great choice for naturally humid rooms like the kitchen or bathroom. You can also increase humidity with a tray of water nearby or a humidifier.

🌱 Repotting

Repot your Lipstick Plant every couple of years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to prevent water from sitting at the roots.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is non-toxic and safe for pets. You can feel confident placing it in accessible areas if you have curious cats or dogs.

🏡 Recommended Locations at Home

Ideal in hanging baskets or on high shelves where its trailing vines can elegantly cascade down. Bright bathrooms or kitchens are also perfect due to their higher humidity levels.

🌿 Air Purifying

Yes, the Aeschynanthus Rasta is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it not just beautiful but beneficial for your indoor air quality.

✨ Other Plant Features

Besides its stunning red blooms and twisted foliage, this plant is relatively easy to care for once acclimated and can bring a touch of the tropics to your interior décor.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!

A beautiful plant. Very healthy and well established in pot. Arrived in immaculate condition. An expensive purchase, but a mature and large specimen.
