  • About this plant

    Aeschynanthus 'Twister' is a captivating cultivar of the Lipstick Plant, named for its vibrant tubular flowers that emerge from dark buds, resembling lipstick tubes. Its dramatic, curly foliage is a unique twist—literally—making it a standout among trailing houseplants.

Perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves, its spiralling vines cascade elegantly, adding movement and lush texture to interior spaces.

Care tips

Keep the soil lightly moist but not soggy, allowing the top inch to dry between waterings. Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Prune lightly to encourage bushier growth. It prefers moderate to high humidity, so mist regularly or place near a humidifier, especially in drier months.
