The house plant is only foliage. The leaves are green on top and purple on the underside. There are no flowers as I have seen. I have had the plant for almost three years and it has begun to wilt one stem at a time. HELP!
January 14/04 Dear vrosec - your plant is known as Plectranthus & is in the Lamiaceae Family. Your problem probably has to do with watering. It may have been over- watered or underwatered. Cultivation: Under glass, grow in soil-based potting mix in full light, with shade from hot sun. During the growing season, water freely & apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every month; keep just moist during winter. Outdoors, grow in moderately fertile, well-drained soil in dappled shade. Pests & Diseases: Sometimes affected by mealybugs, spider mites, leaf spots, & root rot. Hope this information will be of some assistance & you will be able to save your plant. from the Hortline
