Plectranthus tomentosa or Vick is a succulent plant which belong to the lamiaceae family.

Very well know due to its particular scent which reminds us to the very famous "Vicks vaporup" that we use when we are cold.

Very easy to take care of, does not need any type of special soil a universal one with a good drainage is going to be fine. It needs a lot of light, so it can be located in partial shade, shade or in places of several hours of sun. 

As it grows quite fast, pinch this off frequently, we will get a bushier plant and will restrain a bit the growth. 

When the leaves become wilted it might be that we are not watering enough, and by the contrary if we notice black leaves it can be produced by an excess of water.

Add water always that the soil is totally dried, reduce it in autumn and during the winter it scarcely needs water.
