Product Details

Highlights

Cuban Oregano, Comfort Plant, Indian Borage (Plectranthus amboinicus) (Sprengel): An African member of the mint family with long stems and velvety leaves. Its foliage has an aromatic fragrance akin to eucalyptus, camphor, and menthol. The stems can grow up to 3.0' long, bending and trailing from containers. It is a forgiving succulent and can grow quickly in-ground (in frost-free climates) or potted.

Some studies show this plant to have therapeutic properties, including antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. This useful succulent has the potential to become a household herbal remedy, much in the same way that Aloe vera is used. Learn more about this amazing plant at PlectranthusComfort.com

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need part to full sun, good drainage, and regular water. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to dry before watering again.
