This charming and fast-growing succulent herb is cherished for its soft, velvety leaves that release a refreshing menthol aroma when touched—reminiscent of the iconic Vicks Vaporub.

Care Instructions:

• Light: Enjoys bright, indirect sunlight; tolerates morning sun but avoid intense afternoon rays.
• Water: Let soil dry out between waterings; drought-tolerant once established.
• Soil: Use well-draining potting mix—succulent or general-purpose with added perlite or sand.
• Temperature: Prefers warm, sheltered spots; not frost-hardy, so bring indoors during colder months.
• Propagation: Root easily from stem cuttings in water or directly in soil.

Perfect for scented gardens, sensory spaces, or casual indoor growers, the Vicks Plant is a delight for the senses and a conversation piece in any room. Its nostalgic fragrance and lush, trailing habit bring soothing comfort—naturally.
