Aeschynanthus radicans, also known as the lipstick plant, is a vine-like plant that is native to the humid tropics of the Malay Peninsula and Java. It can grow up to 1.5 meters tall and has leathery, green leaves that are 4-8 cm long. The flowers are scarlet with yellow throats and resemble tubes of lipstick, giving the plant its common name. It is often grown as an interior plant and is perfect for hanging baskets, but requires a lot of light and humidity. Clipping the plant can make it fuller and new plants can be started from clippings. This plant is also known for its pungent smell.
