Description: Aeschynanthus radicans is a stunning trailing plant native to Southeast Asia, best known for its tubular, bright red flowers that emerge from dark, tube-like buds resembling lipstick cases. With glossy green leaves and a cascading habit, this tropical plant is perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves, adding a vibrant and exotic touch to any indoor space.
