4" Variegated Lipstick

Variegated Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans ‘Variegata’)

Variegated Lipstick Plant is a trailing tropical houseplant loved for its glossy green leaves edged in creamy white and its vibrant tubular red blooms. The variegated foliage adds brightness and contrast even when the plant isn’t flowering, while the cascading vines make it perfect for hanging baskets or elevated shelves. When in bloom, the red flowers emerge from dark buds, resembling tubes of lipstick—giving the plant its playful name.

Easygoing and eye-catching, this plant adds both color and movement to indoor spaces.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; stronger light encourages blooming
💧 Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings
🌫 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temps (65–85°F); avoid cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes

Fun Fact:
The “lipstick” effect comes from the flower emerging from a dark, tube-like calyx, creating a striking contrast 🌺🌿✨
