The Vicks plant, also known as Plectranthus tomentosa, is a member of the mint family, and Plectranthus genus. It is a popular choice for respiratory health because its leaves contain essential oils that are known for their calming and soothing effects. The Vicks plant has many health benefits in addition to adding beauty to your home's interior design. 

The Vicks plant gets its common name from the distinct scent: its leaves emit when rubbed or crushed. The aroma is often described as similar to menthol or Vicks Vapor Rub, hence the name.

This delightful scent makes it a popular choice for aromatic gardens or as a natural air freshener indoors.

The Vicks plant has several other names such as Succulent Coleus, Cuban Oregano, Vicks vapor rub, and Plectranthus hadiensis var. tomentosus.

Native to South Africa, the Vicks plant has velvety, soft, fuzzy vibrant green leaves that are opposite and broadly ovate with scalloped margins, and densely hairy. This beautiful Vicks plant is known for the minty, camphor fragrance of its leaves.This whole plant itself is relatively compact and can grow up to 1 foot tall and 2.5 feet wide, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. With age, the lower stems can become extremely woody. 

The Vicks plant's flowers are small, white to pale purple, or produce large quantities of lavender blooms. Its blooming season typically appears in early spring and again in fall and can last for several weeks. The growth rate of this Vicks plant is fast. 

When and How to Water Your Vicks Plant 

When it comes to watering the Vicks plant, it's important to strike a balance. This lovely Plectranthus prefers to be kept moderately moist, but not overly saturated. Aim to water it when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Be cautious not to let the soil dry out completely, as this can cause stress to your Vicks plant. 

On the other hand, excessive watering can cause root rot. It's always a good idea to check the moisture level of the soil before watering to ensure you're providing just the right amount of hydration.

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, Vicks plants typically require watering once a week, ensuring the soil is moist but not waterlogged. In the winter, during the dormant season, reduce watering frequency to every 2-3 weeks to prevent root rot.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Vicks Plant

For indoor growing, Vicks plants require bright, indirect sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. It is important to place them near a window where they can receive adequate light without being exposed to direct sunlight, as this can cause the leaves to burn.

When grown outdoors, Vicks plant needs Full sun to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours daily. It enjoys basking in the gentle rays of the sun but be sure to shield it from direct sunlight for over 6 hours, as it can scorch its delicate velvety leaves.

It is best to provide them with a sheltered spot that receives dappled sunlight throughout the day for optimal growth and health.

If you notice the leaves starting to stretch or become pale, it might be an indication that it needs more light. So, let the Vicks plant soak up that sunshine, but remember to protect it from the harsh rays! 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Vicks plant needs well-drained organic-rich soil to germinate. Your soil must have a sandy texture and a low water-holding capacity, just like desert soil. Soggy wet soil can damage your succulents and contribute to bacterial and fungal rot. Ideally, you want to use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive.  

As for fertilizer, natural fertilizers with an equal mix of NPK (5-10-5) are the best choice as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage Vick's plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your succulent coleus some love with a good natural fertilizer! 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing indoors, the Vicks plants are best done in temperatures ranging from 65-75°F with high humidity levels. To mimic these conditions indoors, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant on a tray filled with water and pebbles.

For outdoor cultivation, ensure they are planted in hardiness zones 9-11, where temperatures do not drop below 30°F. Additionally, provide ample sunlight and well-draining soil to promote healthy growth.  After a year or more of growth, the plants become woodier at the base and are more resistant to frost damage. 

In terms of humidity, the Vicks plant enjoys moderate to high humidity levels. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves or placing a tray of water nearby. So, keep your favorite plant cozy in its preferred temperature range and provide it with some humidity, and it'll be happy and healthy! 

Wildlife - Vicks Plant Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Vicks plant is known to attract a variety of friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds with its fragrant flowers and nectar-rich blooms.

Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment and water it regularly until roots develop.

Great quality case and keyboard
Color: Purple, Color: Purple
Super good quality case, I was actually surprised since it’s such a good price. It fit my 10.9 inch perfectly! Keyboard has magnetic attachment to the case which is super handy, and it connected with Bluetooth seamlessly. Keyboard isn’t silent, it’s on the louder side, but not too loud at all and it doesn’t bother me at all because I prefer clickier keyboards. Oh also something that’s really cool is that you can change the colors of the keyboard, love that!
