For best results, provide bright indirect light. Allow its soil to dry out before watering, and water slightly less during the winter dormancy period. During dormancy, this plant can tolerate periodic drought conditions, but it cannot tolerate extended periods without water. Try your hand at taking cuttings of the plant and getting them to root. Rooting is usually quite rapid for this "Spurflower".

Here’s your new favorite Bonsai plant! Plectranthus Ernstii Caudex, Bonsai Mint features a large, attractive succulent “trunk” and small, fuzzy, pleasantly spice-scented green leaves. Native to South Africa, this plant is new to most Bonsai collections, but it has become very popular. It is easy to propagate. Consider this one for pots, rock gardens, and fairy gardens. The plant’s stems are grayish and succulent but turn brown over time. In the summer through the fall, expect small spikes of lavender-white flowers.
