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

  • 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.

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.

GREAT for small dogs!
Size: 6 inches - Plush Gumby
My Pekingese, Yuki, has tiny and shallow jaws. So, it’s tough to find toys she can hold, let alone squeak. But “Gumby” was a surprise, and a fast favorite. The fur is pleasantly smooth, vs. dense. It seems to help. The front/back are somewhat flattened. That seems to help, too. The squeaker is strategically placed…. Thus, she can easily mouth the neck/head area, regardless of the arm placement to easily squeak away…. And what fun to twirl. I’ll grab an arm, and spin her in circles. It’s wonderfully stitched. Nary a worry about an arm coming off. A truly quality toy…. Purchase for your wee one with confidence!

After a good scrub, the dogs love them!
Size: 9 inches - Latex Gumby, Size: 9 inches - Latex Gumby
These gumby toys are flexible rubber, and exactly what you'd expect for the price. I ordered three to replace two that had been gifts well loved by my dogs. I read reviews mentioning smell, but wasn't really prepared for it when the package arrived. They all arrived zip tied to a paperboard backing. They all smelled like a fine fragrance designed for robots - like burning motor oil with floral undertones - and the zip ties were stained a sickly green wherever they touched Gumby. Initially, my dogs wanted nothing to do with them, even after a good scrub. I left them to air out in the shed for a few days and then ran them through the dishwasher (without cleanser!) and they were good to go. My dogs love these toys. I know they're not going to last long! I know the arms will get yanked or chewed off first, and then the corner of Gumby's head will go missing. Eventually, his head will be ripped into tiny pieces and strewn about my living room. I know that, sooner or later (and probably sooner!), Gumby will be little more than a torso with weird square legs. And that's okay, because that means my dogs enjoyed the toy. People complaining about a $7 flexible rubber toy not being appropriate for heavy chewers don't understand what dogs need, or what dog toys are for. Part of the satisfaction that chewing brings for dogs is also shredding. Dogs destroy stuff. Some more than others. It's what they do. No toy will last forever if it's used! But I have five dogs, including bully breeds and a Saint Bernard, plus two occasional visitors, and these toys have lasted longer than expected (even if their arms are off in minutes!) The dogs in the pictures are 90 and 120 pounds, modeling both a well loved older Gumby and a brand new one.

It won't last if your dog chews.
Size: 9 inches - Plush Gumby, Size: 9 inches - Plush Gumby
My dog loves these things BUT: The first one lasted 2 days. The stitching along the leg looked a little loose before I gave it to our dog. So I watched her very closely. She went up to see my roommate with it and thank goodness he was watching closely as well because it was then that she ripped the entire thing open and the squeaking ball came out. The problem with the ball is that it is so small- it would be easy for a dog to choke on. I do have to give the seller some credit because they sent another one when I explained that the stiches were loose. I did not have to mail the first one back. The second picture is the second one that they sent. It lasted less than 10 minutes. I DO NOT recommend getting it replaced after you have a "failure"(especially if you don't know how to sew)!!! Why? Because when the second one was in my dog's grasp she had already figured out that the seems were... her target for destruction... She held the legs with her front paws, grabbed the head with her mouth and just started pulling like crazy until- yes. A seem opened again. What started as a small opening in the seem quickly turned into a bigger one. This probably sounds crazy, but we have very smart dog... She was seriously concentrating on the same seem- biting the same area and pulling with her head over and over until the hole became big enough to get stuffing through it. It may be a mistake- we will find out... But I am thinking about sewing the second one back together and reinforce every seem with a "second" seem using some very strong thread. I figure I would rather waste 20 cents or so on the thread to try to fix it, then buy another dog toy from this "brand". When I do this I will also pull ALL of the stuffing out so if it does rip open again, she won't be able to eat any of it. The stuffing looks synthetic and it is low quality- I don't trust it as far as toxicity... All this being said= if there were two layers of fabric with the inside layer being a stronger material, it would make the seems harder to pull apart. The way it is now you have this weak (albeit soft) fabric so when they sew it together the tiny holes left by the needle make the fabric in the seem area easier to tear. This, along with the thread itself being weak and easy to "snap", means that you should only expect it to last more than a day if your dog does not chew anything at all that is not food. 5 starts for the seller though...
