Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Curly variety different from regular Lipstick Plants?
The Curly variety features uniquely twisted and curled leaves that create much more textural interest and dynamic movement than straight-leafed lipstick plants. The curly foliage adds incredible visual drama to the cascading display while still producing the same spectacular red tubular flowers.
When will my plant bloom and what do the flowers look like?
With proper bright light and care, your Curly Lipstick Plant will produce stunning bright red tubular flowers that literally look like lipstick extending from dark burgundy tubes! Blooming typically occurs in spring and summer, and the dramatic flowers are absolutely worth the wait.
How can I encourage more blooming?
Provide bright, indirect light (essential for blooming), maintain consistent moisture without overwatering, and feed regularly during growing season. Pinching growing tips encourages bushier growth with more flowering sites, and removing spent flowers promotes continued blooming.
Is this plant safe around pets and children?
Yes! Aeschynanthus plants are completely non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans, making them perfect worry-free choices for families who want to enjoy their spectacular curly cascading foliage and vibrant red blooms safely throughout their home.
How long do the cascading vines get?
Curly Lipstick Plants can develop cascading vines 2-3 feet long, creating impressive hanging displays. The curly foliage makes the vines appear even fuller and more dramatic than straight-leafed varieties, perfect for creating stunning living curtains of twisted tropical beauty.

Really Wanted to Love This Book
Format: Paperback
I grew up in a time where there were very few LBGTQ books and I felt very much an anomaly. I heard great things about this book and wanted to read it. I found the book to be written super simply and not adding much to the conversation. I am glad it exists but it was super simplistic and it really doesn’t add much to the conversations around transitioning. It might be a great book for a kid just starting to figure out who they are. I left this book in a free library in a public space in hopes it gets read by someone who needs the message.

Had me in happy tears🥹
Format: Paperback
Lewis is a really funny person and I love how he discussing the way transitioning can affect multiple people, like parents, friends, and teachers. I also feel very related to by this book despite not having the same experience he did. It’s a testament to his amazing writing that he can so well encapsulate the Transgender Experience, whilst still telling a personal story. Highly recommend.

Recommended it to others!
Format: Paperback
I discovered Lewis through TikTok and even showed a few of his videos to my mom. While I’m a bit younger than Lewis, my mom and I laughed at his videos because they reminded us of my emo teen self. While our journeys in life are hardly similar, and I still identify with my biological sex, I absolutely loved this book and told my therapist friend about it. She made a note to recommend it to some of her young clients going through their own trans journeys. Thank you Lewis for reminding me of my teenage emo escapades and making the world seem not-so-lonely for those struggling with their true selves. It’s needed today more than ever. ♥️

So cute!
Format: Paperback
Funny and so adorable! I love Lewis’s relationship with his mom! It’s so addictive I read the whole book in a single sitting! There is a few strips of nudity as well as a couple suggestive scenes (very brief), so absolutely intended for kids who have/are learning about puberty! And of course, you get what you pay for. If you buy a book written by a trans man telling his story, of course you’re going to have trans representation. Over all, so, so adorable!
