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.

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.

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.

These are great!
Size: Medium, Pattern Name: Pack of 2
My dog loves these and now won't play fetch with any other ball. I love that they glow bright so we can play fetch after I get home from work (it gets dark around 5 now). The dog and I both like that they whistle. They also squish easily and he loves to chomp on them while he runs around. Only reason I took off a star is because he chewed a piece of it off and now it doesn't whistle or fly as far. That being said, it seems to stand up well to all the chomping he does on it. I should not have left him alone with it, I think he held it down and pulled on it. If your dog usually makes it his mission to destroy things I wouldn't leave him alone with it, other than that I absolutely recommend these.
Update 12/12/20: I got another dog last year and he also loves these balls. Probably the favorite ball for both dogs, they go into hyperdrive when they see them. New dog tends to be more destructive than the older one and I still don't leave them unattended with these balls, but new dog has not destroyed one. I made the mistake of leaving one in the Chuckit overnight once. Ball was wet from playing in the snow and became lopsided. Now doesn't fly very well but my weird dog still likes it. It is also starting to dry out and crack. None of the other glow balls have done this, I'm assuming it is also from leaving it in the Chuckit overnight.
Other than that, these balls are great. I did read a few reviews that said charging them with UV light made them stay brighter for a longer period, but I did not notice a difference in my quick test of this theory. Just keep a good flashlight with you and brighten them up as needed.

Good for night sessions
Size: Medium, Pattern Name: Pack of 1
Picked this up for evening fetch sessions and it’s been a win. It charges up fast, couple minutes under a lamp or in sunlight and it’s good to go, and the glow is genuinely bright, not the sad dim purple some of these put out. Makes it way easier to find in the yard at dusk, and the dog can actually track it.
It’s a little on the softer side compared to a regular tennis ball, but durable enough to hold up to my big dog, who is not gentle with toys. Still kicking after plenty of chomping and slobber. Fits a standard Chuckit! launcher perfectly, which is the whole point.
Pros:
• Glows brightly and clearly in the dark
• Charges fast from any light source
• Holds up well even with a big, enthusiastic chewer
• Fits standard ball-throwing sticks
• Great for evening or early-morning fetch
Cons:
• A bit softer than a regular tennis ball — a determined power-chewer could probably destroy it eventually
• Glow fades after a while, so you’ll need to recharge it during long sessions
• Only glows if it’s been charged, which is obvious but easy to forget
Tips:
• Charge it under a bright light or in the sun for a few minutes before heading out
• A flashlight works in a pinch if you forgot to charge it
• Keep it out of permanent fetch duty — rotate with a regular ball so it lasts longer
• Not a chew toy, even though it’s tempting to leave it with the dog
Five stars. If you’ve got a dog and a yard, this makes evening fetch actually doable.

Westies Fav
Size: Small, Pattern Name: Pack of 1
Best Westie ball ever, my dog loves this ball. Exactly her size! 3" tennis balls are too big & she rips the fur off. this silicone-ish ball has no fur & is 2&1/2 "
We have 2" balls from her electronic ball laucher, but she still loves this glow in the dark best!

Best dog ball in the world!
Size: Large, Pattern Name: Pack of 1, Size: Large, Pattern Name: Pack of 1
My dog is singularly obsessed with playing ball. He would drop a steak to chase a ball. (He'd return to the steak, but not without the retrieved ball. He's not an idiot.) He makes dangerous leaps, crashes into trees, and runs fast enough to catch thrown balls before they even hit the ground. Since he doesn't care about his own wellbeing, it's my job to protect him as much as I can. And a lot of balls are hard enough to cause him pain or dental damage when he mistimes a catch. Enter the ChuckIt Glow Ball!
The minute Cowboy got his first Glow Ball, he no longer had any interest in the dozens of tennis balls scattered around the house and yard. If I took the Glow Ball away and instead threw a tennis ball, Cowboy would run to retrieve the ball, then return without it and begin looking all over the house for the Glow Ball. The Glow Ball is tough enough to survive Cowboy's big, sharp chompers, yet it's soft enough to do no harm when it hits him in the face. The glow feature is a huge bonus, too. Cowboy gets distracted by chipmunks and squirrels when we're playing, so he sometimes can't remember where he dropped the ball to pursue the interloper. If the ball was exposed to enough light before it was misplaced, it will be easy to find once the sun goes down. (Otherwise, Cowboy always finds it eventually.) When I'm feeling nocturnal, I'll put the ball under a light for a few minutes to activate the electrons, then treat my boy to a middle-of-the-night game of fetch.
I was so happy to see these on sale, I bought a lifetime supply for my pantry. The size guide seems accurate. ChuckIt recommended the large size for a dog of Cowboy's weight and that size is perfect. Highly recommended product.

Love this set!!!
Size: Medium (2.5"), Style: Fetch Pack 1
I was trying to figure out which of the many different balls this company offers, and I was getting frustrated but then i was SOOOO happy to see they had multiple sets that had multiple of the different balls they offer!! I bought this set and the other set they offer, but this one was my favorite and I think my dogs too! The orange ball works great and bounces just high enough that it doesn’t clear our patio wall, but enough for him to go and jump up to retrieve. But the glow in the dark ball is his favorite! Both me and my pomsky were blown away how we brought the glow in the dark ball outside just as the sun was going down, and when we brought it back inside it was BRIGHT AND GLOWY!!! Even with the sun going down and not much light left!! He loves to play with it in the house after it’s all glowy from the sun. Sometimes we even glow it up under a light inside the house if it’s dark outside, and he will play with it outside in the dark haha he loves it!!! And I think it’s pretty cool too!! All of the balls this company overs are VERY durable! We realized early on that we cannot give our dog regular tennis balls cuz his favorite thing to do is tear the outside fabric off!! So we were trying to figure out what company has the best balls for dogs so they can’t sit there and try to pry them apart, and we found this company!! We have already bought from them about 3 times and all of their balls are durable and bounce how they say they will bounce!! They have the super bouncers and the glow in the dark one and the one with angles that will bounce in different directions and the ones you can throw REALLYY far! Overall, all the balls from this company are very durable, bounce really good, and keep my dog occupied without allowing him to sit there and tear it apart!!! Which i love cuz I do not like when he stops playing with us to sit there and try to take off the fabric, cuz then he could swallow it! So always buy the balls from this company!!! They are the best and most durable!!!! Also plenty soft for your dogs mouth so they can chew on it a bit and it won’t hurt their teeth/gums!
