Plectranthus Tomentosa 'Vicks Plant'-Aromatic Comfort Meets Easy-Care Charm

Plectranthus tomentosa ‘Vicks Plant’
Aromatic Comfort Meets Easy-Care Charm

Add a sensory touch to your plant collection with Plectranthus tomentosa, fondly known as the Vicks Plant. This soft, fuzzy succulent is beloved not just for its velvety leaves, but for the soothing, menthol-like aroma it releases when gently touched—reminiscent of classic Vicks VapoRub. Perfect for cozy corners, desktops, or sunny windowsills, it brings both comfort and character to your space.

Why It Belongs in Your Collection

• Naturally Aromatic: Lightly brush the plush foliage to release its signature calming scent—an instant mood lifter.

• Soft, Velvety Texture: The thick, fuzzy leaves add a tactile appeal that’s as comforting as its fragrance.

• Compact & Versatile: Grows neatly in small containers, making it a perfect fit for apartments, workspaces, or bedside tables.

• Beginner-Friendly: Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, ideal for busy schedules or first-time plant owners.

Simple Care Tips

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. A bit of morning sun is fine, but avoid strong afternoon rays.

• Watering: Allow soil to dry completely before watering again. Like many succulents, it doesn’t tolerate soggy roots.

• Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to support healthy growth.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm environments—keep it protected from cold drafts and frost.
