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.

Key Takeaways

  1. The Vicks plant has thick, fuzzy leaves that emit a soothing, minty scent when touched or crushed, similar to menthol vapor.

Good phone mount
Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder, Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder
So far I’m very happy with the phone mount for my Tesla Model 3. It installed very easy, feels secure, the magnetic ring holds my iPhone really well. My last mount had an issue with staying in place, the phone would often tilt when going over bumps but this one seems solid. There were no installation instructions but it was a no brainer to install. Like most mounts the give you a separate metal ring you can attach to the back of your phone if your phone or case isn’t MagSafe.

Made of alloy and mostly plastic
Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder, Style: MagSafe Car Phone Holder
This is a fairly decent MagSafe mount that attaches cleanly to an LCD car display. It works and looks good on my Tesla Model 3. The only part that is metal is the bracket but the rest seems to be made from a metallic looking plastic. I do like that the inside of the clamps can be adjusted independently and there’s a layer of silicone padding to protect the screen. I was able to make it pretty tight with no movement at all. It only works well on a “naked” phone or a cover that has MagSafe ring built in. I have a super thin case and it seems to hold pretty well so far but I do wish the magnets were a bit stronger. The good thing is that it uses a standard ball joint so I have other types of mounts that could easily fit in place of the MagSafe version. The only other thing that I think detracts from the overall “clean look” is the screened text on the clamp that simply says “Screen Holder”. It would have been better not there.

EXCELLENT Product for using with the dash mount BUT not so good for all cars with the vent mount.
This is a great product for wireless phones worked perfectly for my SG S21 the mount is really good sturdy flexible and firm if done right. BUT the vent jack plug is short for my Camry 2018 doesn't hold the phone firmly. It keeps wobbling when driving. So if you're looking for using just the vent holder make sure your car has a short AC flap so it can mount the plug firmly hold the phone properly. The phone holder is amazing it works really good just the way it is shown in the description. So guys first check the flap size of your cars AC vent must be short if you're looking to use the Vent plug holder. But if you're going to use it only with the dash mount its fantastic and holds the phone really firm and good. I really love this product and highly recommend to buy.
