Aeschynanthus radicans Lipstick Plant

Yes, Aeschynanthus radicans 'Rasta' is non-toxic to both cats and dogs. It is a great choice if you want a lush, vining plant that you don't have to worry about your pets interacting with.

This plant prefers medium, indirect light. While it can tolerate partial shade, placing it in a spot with bright, filtered light will encourage the best growth and consistent, year-round flowering.

You should allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Because it is a tropical epiphyte, it prefers to dry down rather than sit in soggy soil, which can lead to root rot.

Not at all. It is considered an easy-care plant that is quite forgiving. As long as you provide it with the right light and avoid overwatering, it will thrive.

Absolutely. Its vining, cascading growth habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets or for placing on a high shelf where the stems can trail downward.

It does not require special humidity setups. It is perfectly happy in basic household humidity levels, making it much easier to manage than many other tropical varieties.
