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. These pollinators play a crucial role in the plant's reproduction process by transferring pollen from one flower to another, ultimately leading to the production of seeds.

How to Propagate Your Vicks Plant

To propagate a Vicks plant, you can take stem cuttings from a healthy, mature plant. Make sure the cutting is at least 4-6 inches long and has several leaves. Remove the lower leaves and dip the cut end in rooting hormone before planting it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cutting in a warm, humid environment and water it regularly until roots develop.

Next Level "Hotel" smells
Scent: Bourbon & Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have been searching for a shampoo that not only leaves my hair feeling clean, but also smells great. Cremo has frequently checked a lot of boxes, and this shampoo is no exception.I adore the bourbon and oak scent. Despite giving some hotel shampoo vibes, it smells great once in the air, and I feel good showering with it. It leaves my hair feeling clean and no oily, but still soft. I have thicker hair, but this works in easily. Bottle came perfect, no leaks! Only complaint is I would like a larger bottle with a pump to user easier in the shower!

incredible.
Format: Mass Market Paperback, Format: Mass Market Paperback
i want to recommend this book to every woman i know - but unfortunately, i know soooo many will choose to be offended by its content. it will either strengthen your femininity & rattle your feminist side (i should note that i mean the more extreme, modern meaning), or solidify your feminist ideologies altogether. for me, it was the former. & i'm so grateful. i will say, i think many of the reviews claiming this book is "against women" or "spreading harmful messages" are either taking quotes out of context or the point has gone over their heads completely. elisabeth has made such incredible points about men & women being equally valuable, but simply having different roles in life. she also exaggerated that mature men understand that they have their role not from earning it, but from assignment & are called to love well. so much so, to lay down their lives. this is no way made me feel "less than" or "oppressed" or "victimized". i would say it did the opposite. it made me proud to be a woman. personally, i think this book is incredible & i plan to read it several times in the future. men & women are equal in value, but we were not created for the same roles. & that's *more* than okay, it's beautiful. & God's will is the safest place to be. since i tend to have a hard time articulating my thoughts, here are some bullet points. women are a gift. we were quite literally created to be a helpmeet. we are needed. we are necessary. we have a divine purpose. "i don't want anyone treating me as a person rather than as a woman". a point made that i find interesting - we often see women on a mission to prove "we can do everything a man can do!" (which we cannot), yet, we don't often, if at all, see men trying to prove they can do everything a woman can do (which they can't). people often assume that women embracing the more feminine roles is because of the western societal standards. but if that were true, why do we have yet to discover a successful matriarchal society? globally - villages, tribes, etc. have men as the hunters & warriors, & women as the caregivers & nurturers. is it because we were wired that way? freedom lies in God's will, not rebelling against it. "by being a jellyfish, the jellyfish glorifies its Creator, for by being a jellyfish it fulfills its Creator's command." just like a sailboat sails most beautifully when it sails with the wind, not against it. it's fulfilling it's purpose. "if she was going to make her way in a man's world, she had to be a lady." LOVE THIS QUOTE SO MUCH. "you did in fact marry only a sinner, & so did he. it is grace you both need." "snoring is the sweetest sound in the world. ask any widow." this hit my soul. hard. "you can't find the meaning of a rose by pulling it apart." was such a fabulous quote in regards to not digging too deeply into such trivial things.

Become a woman of God
Format: Kindle
Age Appropriate For: 15 and up (some marital themes and matter best for older readers) Best for Ages: 15 and up Elisabeth Elliot is an incredible woman whom I have looked up to for years. Though I might not always agree with everything she says, I know whatever she says comes from a heart that is devoted to God and is seeking him. As this year I am spending a lot of time reading about Biblical Womanhood, this was high on my list. One of the things I loved about this book is that it was from a mother’s heart to her daughter. So much of the advice felt not like so many of the books on the market, but like I was sitting at her beach home listening to her talk. I felt as if I was peering over Elisabeth’s shoulder reading these letters, unfiltered, no nonsense, but with deep beauty. The advice was so steeped in Scripture without any of the softening that so many books try to do. I loved the way she made fun of feminism and did not shy away from saying things that are politically incorrect with no apology. So many books on womanhood for Christian women (I am finding) almost sound as if they are apologizing for the politically incorrect way God wants women to live. Elisabeth Elliot does not apologize; she shows what a wonderful thing is. This book really got me to thinking in such a good way. I saw so many areas that I need to allow God to work on me. There is nothing as empowering as seeing a reflection of what you are supposed to be, and I found it in this book. Elliott does talk about sex in this book. After all, it is a part of life, womanhood, and her daughter was about to be married. I found this chapter one of the more encouraging ones, oddly enough. I think because she talks about it very matter-of-factly but also doesn’t become crude about it. All her advice and encouragement is steeped in biblical principles and personal experience. I didn’t find it awkward, but rather much like a good mother-daughter talk. I highly recommend this book to women who are trying to live their life aligned with God and the Bible, not the world.
