Rooting a Plectranthus hadiensis (Vicks Plant) is relatively easy and may be done in water or soil. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help root your plant cuttings successfully: 

Option 1: Water Method

1. Remove the bottom leaves from the stem (leave a few at the top).

2. Place stem in a glass of water (make sure no leaves are submerged).

3. Set in a warm, bright spot out of direct sunlight.

4. Change water every few days.

5. Roots should appear in 7–14 days. Transplant when roots are 1 inch+ long.

Option 2: Soil Method

1. Remove the bottom leaves from the stem (leave a few at the top).

2. Stick stem into moist, well-draining soil (cactus/succulent mix works great).

3. Keep soil lightly moist—not soggy.

4. Place in bright, indirect light. New growth will indicate rooting!

Plant Care (After Rooting)

• Light: Bright, indirect sunlight

• Water: Let soil dry between waterings

• Soil: Well-draining mix

• Climate: Warm temps; protect from frost.
