The twisted red lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus radicans) is a popular tropical houseplant known for its vibrant, tube-shaped flowers that resemble a tube of lipstick, hence its name. It is a member of the Gesneriaceae family, which includes African violets. The plant has glossy, dark green leaves and trailing stems that make it ideal for hanging baskets or high shelves.

Key Characteristics:

  • Flowers: Bright red, tubular flowers with a twisted shape that emerge from a dark calyx, resembling a lipstick.
  • Leaves: Thick, glossy, and dark green with a slightly waxy texture.
  • Growth Habit: Trailing or cascading, making it perfect for hanging baskets.
  • Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some lower light conditions.
  • Watering: Needs moderate watering. It’s essential to allow the top of the soil to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot.
  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity, so it’s an excellent choice for bathrooms or areas where moisture is prevalent.
  • Temperature: Prefers warm, tropical conditions, usually between 65-80°F (18-27°C).

This plant can be grown indoors in temperate regions, but it requires a bit of care to maintain its humidity levels and avoid overwatering. It blooms periodically, especially when given adequate light and care.
