The lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus radicans) is a tropical beauty native to Southeast Asia, loved for its cascading vines and vibrant, tube-shaped blooms that resemble a tube of lipstick peeking out of its case. With glossy green leaves and striking red flowers, it’s a favorite choice for hanging baskets or high shelves where its trailing growth can shine. When given the right conditions, it becomes a stunning statement piece that adds a bold pop of color to any indoor plant collection.
To thrive, lipstick plants need bright, indirect light. Place them near an east- or west-facing window where they’ll get plenty of natural brightness without harsh, direct sun that can scorch the leaves. A south-facing window works as well, provided there’s a sheer curtain to filter the light. They also appreciate a warm, humid environment, similar to their tropical origins, so bathrooms with windows or rooms with a humidifier are excellent spots for them.
Caring for a lipstick plant is fairly straightforward. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering, making sure not to let the plant sit in waterlogged soil, as that can lead to root rot. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage lush foliage and more frequent blooms. With the right light, consistent moisture, and a touch of humidity, your lipstick plant will reward you with vibrant flowers and healthy trailing vines throughout the year.

The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.

I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
