Product Details
Highlights
String of Pillows (Plectranthus prostratus, now Coleus prostratus) (Gürke): A delicate lime green string succulent with thick leaves. It hangs and trails from pots and produces violet blooms as it hangs. Although it thrives in partial sun, it develops a phenomenal burgundy pattern if sun stressed. It readily roots from any node along the stem and grows vigorously.
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.
