Full to part sun is recommended for growing healthy Vicks Plants, as succulents however they prefer a dryer planting medium, and can handle being lightly watered about once a week. Proper drainage is also a must as excess moisture near the roots can cause root rot.

This succulent herb is a must for attracting bees and butterflies. Easy to propagate, and blooms in early spring and early fall. Because of its fleshy leaves, be careful not to over water.”
