Did you know...?
The reason behind the name of Rasta lipstick plants is due to their striking bright red flowers that bloom from dark buds resembling lipstick applicators. Its distinct feature is its curled leaves that make it stand out as a plant. Originating from tropical SE Asia, this plant requires a well-lit area away from direct sunlight and consistent watering during the summer, with the soil never drying out entirely. Misting is crucial to maintain hydrated leaves, and be cautious of cold temperatures in the winter.
