Plectranthus tomentosa

Vicks plant, or Succulent Coleus, is a unique and aromatic herb known for its menthol-like fragrance, reminiscent of Vicks Vaporub. This perennial beauty is a perfect rare and unusual addition to your herb garden, bringing both soothing scents and practical benefits. Vicks herb is an essential addition for home gardeners, prized for its ease of cultivation and ability to thrive with minimal effort.

At The Growers Exchange, we’re passionate about providing high-quality, sustainably grown Vicks plants. Handpicked and carefully nurtured, our plants thrive in your garden, giving you a fresh, fragrant herb that can be enjoyed year-round.


History and Heritage

The Vicks plant, or Plectranthus tomentosa, originates in the warm, tropical climates of Africa and Asia, where it has thrived for centuries. The plant’s name reflects its soft, velvety leaves, with "tomentose" referring to the fine hairs that cover them. 

Historically, it has been cultivated for its soothing, aromatic qualities. Modern enthusiasts often compare it to the menthol scent of Vicks Vaporub, which is how it got its unique name. Its introduction to modern herbal gardens outside of its native regions has brought the plant to new heights of popularity, appreciated by casual gardeners and those interested in its holistic benefits.


Appearance and Characteristics

When touched, vicks plants boast soft, velvety leaves that release a cooling, minty fragrance. Their lush, fuzzy, oval-shaped leaves are thick and succulent, allowing the plant to store water efficiently and withstand dry conditions. In the right conditions, they may even produce small, pale purple flowers, adding a charming touch to their lush green appearance.

This evergreen plant grows in compact, trailing mounds with a height of around 12 inches. When touched, the leaves release a powerful menthol fragrance, similar to Vicks Vaporub. The plant typically grows in compact mounds with trailing stems that can extend outward. 


Vicks Plant Uses and Benefits

Vicks plants offer a unique scent, which, along with their medicinal reputation, has made them a popular choice in home gardens and traditional medicine for respiratory relief and general wellness. Some of its uses include:

  • Soothing Menthol Fragrance: Its leaves emit a refreshing menthol scent, perfect for clearing the air or creating a calming atmosphere in your home or garden.

  • Natural Decongestant: Vicks Plant has traditionally been used to ease nasal congestion, much like its namesake, Vicks Vaporub, by simply inhaling its aroma.

  • Aromatic Companion: This fragrant herb can be grown in pots on windowsills or patios to keep the air fresh and fragrant year-round.

  • Decorative Accent: The plant’s attractive, trailing habit and fuzzy leaves make it a charming addition to hanging baskets or container gardens.

  • Natural Insect Repellent: Its strong aroma is known to repel certain pests, making it a useful companion plant in vegetable and herb gardens.

  • Air Purifier: Vicks Plant can help improve indoor air quality by naturally absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen, promoting a healthier environment.

  • Medicinal Uses: It has been used in folk medicine for its potential to ease colds, headaches, and skin irritations when its leaves are crushed and applied externally.


Vicks Plant Care, Maintenance, and Growing Tips

Vicks plants are suitable for growing in indoor and outdoor areas. With proper care, you can grow them in a regular pot or place them on hanging baskets for your aesthetics. Growing Vicks Plant is a breeze for gardeners of all levels. Here’s how to cultivate this aromatic herb:

  • Location: Vicks Plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, usually in areas within Zones 9 to 12. It can tolerate some direct sunlight but prefers shaded areas in hotter climates.

  • Planting: Ideal for regular containers or hanging baskets with a recommended size of at least five gallons. Plant your Vicks plant in well-drained soil to prevent waterlogging.

  • Soil: A well-draining potting mix, like one used for succulents, is essential for this plant. The soil should provide adequate aeration while allowing excess water to escape.

  • Watering: Vicks Plant is drought-tolerant and only needs watering when the soil dries out. Overwatering should be avoided, as it can cause root rot.

  • Pruning: Regular pruning keeps the plant from becoming too leggy and promotes fuller growth. Harvest leaves as needed for their aroma or medicinal purposes, ensuring healthy regrowth.

  • Ecosystem: This plant is a great addition to your garden ecosystem, attracting helpful pollinators like bees and butterflies. Its strong aroma is also a natural repellent for certain garden pests and mosquitoes.

  • Companion Plants: Vicks Plant pairs well with other aromatic herbs like lavender, rosemary, and thyme. Its pleasant fragrance and pest-repelling properties make it an ideal companion in herb gardens or mixed planters.

If your dog pops with his canines and shreds with his front teeth, this is for you. I have nothing but praise for this toy.
Size: One Size, Style: Bumpy Ball
This is one of the few balls I have purchased that my dog does not destroy. I am surprised at the negative reviews here and have been doing some thinking about why one dog destroys this ball and another does not. Perhaps it is the type of chewer we own? Or because he has a narrow jaw rather than a broad one like a pit bull? My Airedale Terrier likes to shred, preferring to use his back teeth to pop or crush and front teeth to pull apart tennis balls, stuffed animals and the like. I don't know if that will help anyone in making the decision to buy or not to buy this toy. The ball has many dimples where my dog's teeth have sunk in but he has yet to take a chunk out of it. I bought two of these from Marshall's three or four months ago and I play with my dog twice a day, so lots of use here. After I realized what I'd found I promptly ordered two more from Amazon because I wanted to insure I would have them around for a long time. All I can say is that this toy has been a lifesaver for me. My extremely active one year old Airedale Terrier needs a lot of exercise and this ball satisfied that need for us. It is fun for him and I giggle at his antics as he attempts to follow the unpredictable path of the bumble ball. I throw the ball for him from my porch, trying to toss it so it goes over our truck, which my husband leaves in the driveway. If the ball hits the truck, no harm done and more unpredictable for my boy! I can toss the ball around the house without worrying it will break a window. My dog loves to pick up toys and throw them in the air when he plays. He tossed a marrow bone into the air and when it landed I had a nice half inch gash in our coffee table. No more marrow bones in the house for him. I have nothing but praise for this toy and am grateful to have found it.

Great Toy
Size: One Size, Style: Stick
I breed German shepherds. This toy is a soft formed stick made of a memory foam/ rubber polymer. It’s light weight, very durable, floats and my German Shepherds love retrieving this toy. They are not indestructible but they are a great chewing toy for their price. I usually buy several at a time. This toy will help clean their teeth and is soft enough not to damage their teeth. It’s a favorite item for my dogs.

SPECTACULAR dog chew toy!
Size: One Size, Style: Ball
If you look at my profile, you will see that I have bought and reviewed a LOT of dog toys! My boxer is an "aggressive" chewer and we go through dog toys quickly in my house. This has been one of my very favorite chew toys that I have ever purchased. This company sells quite a few of these chew toys in different shapes. This ball is made from a very light foam rubber (I think) material. When I showed it to my husband, he said "that won't last 5 minutes" and I had my doubts too. However, this ball has proven to be EXTREMELY durable! Because it is made from the foam material, it has a lot of tooth sized holes in it after she chews it, but she has been unable to chew the toy apart. I bought another of these chew toys made from the same material in a different shape thinking surely there was some accident that the toy had held up for so long. Nope, the new toy has held up just as well! The toys float in water and are very light and easy to throw. Overall, I will be buying more of these toys and would recommend this product!

Didn't last one day.
Size: Large, Style: Duck Slingshot, Size: Large, Style: Duck Slingshot
Didn't last even an hour. This damage wasn't from the dog either, it looks like it let loose from the stress of just trying to launch it! It doesn't fly near as far as the discontinued Pig Slingshot toy. Bring back the pig, please. I also ordered the other listed Hyper Pet flying fowl, and it flew the same distance as this one, and has lasted through the day (but needs to be heavier). But for this one, perhaps they needed to double stitch the area under the 'chin'? I'll try to return it. It looks like it should be more durable, but at least that part isn't. Second one: I chose the replacement, instead of a refund because my dog loves me shooting the toys into the yard. He saw the new duck, and was excited. Six shots in and the seam on the bottom of the head was already separating. By 10 or so times, it was getting concerning as the seams were opening enough I was concerned that it would lose its filling. I'm disappointed, and so is my dog. Just in case anyone is wondering, I never let him alone with this, and still feel, even more so, that the failure is the stitching on the bottom of the head, right at the point where the most stresses of launching it are focused. I'd strongly recommend that Hyper Pet use two layers of full canvas over that area, and also Bring Back The Slingshot Pig, PLEASE... The second picture is the second Duck, and my 7 month old. He wasn't ready to end the session. The problem, for us, is that the 'dog run' isn't very long, and all of the other toys I have are bazooka style launching devices that I can't use yet as they would fly far over the fence. Ironically one is from Hyper Pet, and is amazing. Works so well. Too well?
