Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant (Aeschynanthus radicans 'Mona Lisa')
Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant is a trailing houseplant that brings bright, warm color to shelves and hanging baskets without taking up much space. Glossy green leaves drape naturally, and clusters of tubular blooms add a playful, polished finish when the plant is happy. It is a strong choice for bright indoor spots where you want a soft cascade and a repeat show through the growing season. Give it steady warmth, bright filtered light, and good drainage, and it will stay full and attractive for the long run.
Distinctive Features
This tropical vine produces arching stems lined with thick, glossy leaves and blooms that resemble a tube of lipstick as they open. 'Mona Lisa' is best known for orange-red tubular flowers that appear in clusters, typically in spring and summer with repeat blooming possible indoors. The plant naturally trails and can reach about 2 to 3 feet long in a container, creating an easy cascading effect. Foliage stays evergreen indoors, and the combination of shine, drape, and bloom color makes it look styled even between flower flushes.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Bright, indirect light is best, and gentle morning sun is fine while harsh midday sun can scorch leaves.
- Soil: Use a well-drained, airy potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark to prevent soggy roots.
- Water: Water when the top 1 to 2 inches of mix feels dry, then drain thoroughly so roots never sit in water.
- USDA Zones: USDA Zones 10 to 11 outdoors, and elsewhere grown as a houseplant.
- Temperature: Keep warm and stable, protecting from cold drafts and temperatures below about 60 F.
- Humidity: Moderate to higher humidity supports better flowering and cleaner foliage, especially in winter.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Hang it at eye level so the trailing stems and orange-red blooms become the main feature in a bright room.
- Hanging Baskets: Use in baskets to showcase the natural cascade and encourage fuller, flower-covered stems.
- Shelves and Ledges: Let it spill over edges to soften lines and add color without adding clutter.
- Bright Bathrooms: Place in a well-lit, humid room to support stronger growth and more consistent blooming.
- Indoor Plant Groupings: Pair with upright foliage plants to add a draping layer and a seasonal burst of color.
Low Maintenance Care
- Pruning: Pinch and trim after blooming to encourage branching and a denser, more even shape.
- Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer to support blooms.
- Grooming: Remove spent flowers and any yellowing leaves to keep the plant tidy and vigorous.
- Repotting: Repot only when crowded, because slightly snug roots can help keep growth and flowering balanced.
- Pest Watch: Check occasionally for common houseplant pests like mealybugs and spider mites.
Why Choose Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant?
- Bloom Color: Orange-red tubular flowers add a bold accent against glossy green foliage.
- Trailing Habit: Cascading stems create an instant finished look in baskets and on shelves.
- Repeat Interest: Blooms often arrive in waves, giving you color beyond a single short season.
- Space Efficient: Delivers impact vertically and over edges without needing a large footprint.
- Easy Styling: Looks good as a solo specimen or as the draping layer in mixed indoor displays.
If you want a plant that drapes well and still delivers real flower power, Mona Lisa Lipstick Plant is a dependable pick. Keep it in bright, filtered light, water with restraint, and maintain good drainage. With steady warmth and a bit of humidity, it will reward you with fuller growth and frequent, eye-catching blooms.

Great new take on some of my favorite DC villains
Format: Paperback
I have been a huge fan of the Crime Syndicate concept for several years, ever since Grant Morrison revived them in 2000. While the group has been radically altered and retooled since then, to the point where no version of the group is exactly the same as the last one that showed, it's good to see any version of them get a series of their own and this latest iteration is a good one besides. My one real complaint is that it could have been a bit longer, particularly each member's origin segment. None the less, great series overall.

The Crime Syndicate is back!
Format: Paperback
Wow, what a great story. I first read about the Crime Syndicate in the Secret Society of Super Villains when I was a kid in the 70's. This a fresh take and gives us the origins of the team and the individuals members in the back-ups. Great story with characterization, lots of action, surprises, and well-paced.

Doctor Aphra and Luke Skywalker - An Entertaining Duo!
Format: Paperback
I've greatly enjoyed the various Marvel Star Wars series, but Star Wars: Yoda's Secret War left me a little unsatisfied. I'm very happy to say that the next installment--Screaming Citadel--righted the course and returned the series to its high standard.
Of course, this volume is not just comprised of the Star Wars series. It also has issues from Doctor Aphra. Obviously, the two comics crossed over with each other to deliver this story as whole.
Doctor Aphra has an ancient crystal supposedly housing the sentience of a powerful Jedi. She needs the Queen of the Screaming Citadel to access it for her, and she needs Luke Skywalker to entice the queen into doing so. You'll have to read the book for the details on using Luke as bait. Doctor Aphra sells it to Luke as a chance for him to encounter an actual Jedi master, and it's a chance for her to witness a remnant of the ancient past because she is an archaeologist after all, albeit a bit of an immoral one.
That's a pretty good premise to achieve what this story is really all about--watching Luke and Aphra interact. I believe Doctor Aphra is one of the greatest additions to the Star Wars universe in decades. She first appeared in the Darth Vader series, and she won over the audience so thoroughly that she quickly earned her own title. Honestly, though Aphra works best when pitted against the pure of heart, or at least those on the side of the Rebels. She's Aphra, so of course she manipulates Luke, double-crosses him, saves his skin a few times, then cheats him again. That's just who she is.
It's also interesting to see a rebellious streak in Luke as he jaunts off with Aphra without telling Han, Leia, or anyone else for that matter. We know his dad didn't always follow protocol, so these little deviations are always revealing when Luke is concerned. It's also fun to see him beginning to realize his power. This particular story takes place soon after A New Hope, so Luke has not yet begun to completely understand what he has at his disposal--though this book does depict Luke having some pretty cool moments with his burgeoning abilities.
We also have quite a bit of Han, Leia, and another invaluable addition to the mythology named Sana Starros. All three get their moment to shine as Han finds more and more of the hero within, Leia further establishes herself as the capable leader she is, and Sana Starros slowly reveals more and more of her past to the reader. Guess what? Not only does she have deep connections to Han Solo, but it's heavily hinted that she is also tied to Doctor Aphra as well. The specifics may surprise you.
And, as always, Aphra's versions of C3PO and R2D2 steal the show. They are named 0-0-0 and BT-1. They are basically the murderous, demented, evil version of our favorite droids, and they are forever a delight.
The story of Screaming Citadel itself is entertaining. The art is very pleasing to the eye and keeps the plot moving at a quick pace. At times the faces of the characters based off of real life actors look almost photo realistic, which is sometimes jarring when the rest of the panel does not look so true to life. Of course, the best quality of the book is simply seeing all of these characters play off of each other. It's refreshing to have such rounded, charismatic new characters as Aphra, Sana, Triple-Zero, and Bee-Tee 1 making waves with our legendary favorites.

Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid
Format: Paperback
Star Wars: The Screaming Citadel is a crossover collection of the main Star Wars comic series and the Doctor Aphra series. The Arc revolves around the Queen of The Screaming Citadel being the only one who can open a relic containing an ancient Jedi master. Aphra then teams up with Luke Skywalker and we have our crossover event. The story itself is good. A queen with parasitic bugs controlling a planet is uncharted territory for Star Wars and it works. There were great action moments, plots painting the Empire in a morally grey light than the traditional evil one. Doctor Aphra Marvel's golden girl character was funny in this and her chemistry with Luke worked. It didn't feel forced like Marvel was trying to use the Original Characters to build-up their new ones. Where this comic fails is the inconsistent art style as this is a collection you get different art with each issue. Its starts of good and then takes a nosedive in the Aphra issue in the volume. Bad art aside Screaming Citadel was an enjoyable crossover. Doctor Aphra is the best new character to come out of this new Marvel Disney run. Screaming Citadel is worth the read it was a nice crossover that delves more into the Fantasy elements of Star Wars and works as Star Wars has been Space Wizards since 1977.

What a ride.
Format: Paperback
How these two come together with the rest of the iconic characters is just so fun. Add in a Screaming Citadel and you're in for one hell of a ride. If you love Star Wars, pick it up. It could read as a stand-alone if needed. Part of the Doctor Aphra comics.
