Plectranthus australis 

Plectranthus australis, also known as Creeping Charlie, is a vigorous trailing plant, perfect for hanging baskets or areas where it can gracefully cascade. It features rounded, glossy, dark green leaves with distinctive scalloped edges. During its blooming season, it produces whorled, tubular flowers ranging from pale mauve to white, arranged in terminal racemes, adding a delicate floral touch to its lush foliage.

This plant thrives in partial shade to bright indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. It's particularly forgiving and easy to maintain; simply pinch back the stems when they grow too long to encourage branching and create a denser, more robust appearance. Creeping Charlie is ideal for gardeners looking for an attractive, low-maintenance plant that provides both greenery and blooms.

Plectranthus Basic Care: Easy

• Water: Allow the surface to dry out between watering, but ensure the soil doesn’t dry completely.
• Light: Thrives in medium to bright direct light; avoid placing it in low-light areas.
  Soil/Drainage: A typical houseplant soil with good drainage is suitable. Amending the soil with perlite can enhance drainage.
• Temperature/Humidity: Prefers average to cooler household temperatures and humidity levels.  

Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
