Plectranthus 'Guacamole'

A vibrant foliage plant treasured for its richly textured leaves splashed with shades of lime green, chartreuse, and deep green. The colorful foliage resembles the creamy green tones of fresh guacamole, inspiring its memorable cultivar name. Like many members of the Plectranthus genus, this fast-growing plant is native to regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia where it thrives in warm conditions. Its cascading growth habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, decorative planters, patios, and bright indoor spaces. Easy-going and rewarding, ‘Guacamole’ quickly develops into a lush specimen that adds tropical color wherever it grows.

🌞 Light

Provide bright, indirect light for the best foliage color. A few hours of gentle morning sun can be beneficial, but avoid intense afternoon sunlight.

💧 Watering

Allow the top inch of soil to dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly when needed, but avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.

🕳️ Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix. A quality indoor plant mix with added perlite works very well.

🧪 Fertilizing

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

🪴 Repotting

Repot every 1 to 2 years or when roots begin filling the container. Pinching growing tips encourages a fuller, bushier plant.
