Plectranthus Ernstii Zen Buddha Swedish Ivy Plant 2.5" Pot Houseplant or Bonsai

Description: Plectranthus Ernstii Zen Buddha Swedish Ivy Plant 2.5" Pot Houseplant or BonsaiPrefers morning sun or bright, indirect lightGreat in a hanging basket or containerGrow outside in the summer, move indoors in the winterTrim as neededImmediate shipping in a 2.5" potPlectranthus ernstii, while having mildly spice-scented leaves, is more memorable for its large and attractive caudex which (in the plants which I have seen) can exceed 1 inch in diameter, but may reach about 2 inches across in very old plants. In younger plants, the caudex shows some minor bulging between the nodes, but in very old plants, there are conspicuous constrictions at the nodes of the stems and main branches. While the caudex and main branches will eventually take on the appearance of woodiness, it is my understanding that these always remain succulent, and do not produce any significant wood in their tissues. The leaves are only slightly succulent, and are covered with a minute (and nearly invisible) layer of "fuzz". As in virtually all members of the mint family, the leaves are produced in opposite pairs. Small salvia-like spikes of lavender-blue flowers, or white flowers with lavender details are produced in the summer and into fall, providing some late season interest. Plants are generally well branched and rather compact, typically growing to about a foot or so high. The succulent 'trunk" and main branches of this plant makes it natural bonsai. Provide very bright, indirect light or morning sun. Water when dry. Trim as needed. We would like to inform you that the item that is being sold is not the same as the picture, but is something similar and not necessarily identical.
