Temperatures Plectranthus coleoidesSole pieno
Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of sunlight. These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce.These plants don't like cold temperatures, therefore in the spring it is best to place them outside only when temperatures are above 15°C.

Care Plectranthus coleoides
These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Plectranthus coleoides Is medium in size; in winter it assumes a greenwhite colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. The Plectranthus coleoides is a perennial herb plant.

Feed Plectranthus coleoides
We suggest adding to the irrigation water, in the spring, every 20-25 days, a specific fertilizer for flowering plants. We can also mix to the soil near the plants a granular slow release fertilizer, which has a 3-4 month action.

Irrigation Plectranthus coleoidesTenere Umido
The Plectranthus coleoides needs to be watered quite frequently, every 1-2 weeks ; if there are abundant rains we can diminish watering, which should be done only when the soil is dry. The suggested quantity is 2-3 glasses of water . Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them.

Adversity Plectranthus coleoides
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Substrate Plectranthus coleoides
These plants need a scarcely drained soil, which can remain slightly damp.
