Plectranthus 'Lemon Twist' Variegated - Portuguese Oregano

Plectranthus ‘Lemon Twist’: Sunny Edges and Soft Leaves

‘Lemon Twist’ brightens a container with rounded green leaves edged in yellow. The softly textured, scalloped foliage has a cozy, quilted look that pairs beautifully with smooth-leaved plants.

• 🌿 Leaf shape: Rounded leaves have scalloped edges and a softly textured surface.
• 🎨 Variegation: Yellow margins frame green centers; each leaf has its own pattern.
• ✂️ Fuller growth: Pinching the growing tips encourages branching.
• 🌤️ Light preference: Bright light or gentle sun with shelter from scorching afternoon heat.

An uplifting ornamental foliage choice for a bright indoor spot or sheltered seasonal container.

Care Tips

Light: Provide bright indirect light or gentle sun. Acclimate gradually and shade from harsh afternoon heat.

Water: Water when the upper layer of mix has dried, then let excess water drain fully. Avoid both soggy soil and prolonged complete dryness.

Soil: Use a loose, airy potting mix that drains well without drying instantly.

Potting: Choose a pot with drainage holes and repot when the roots need more room.

Humidity: Provide good airflow and avoid persistently damp foliage.

Temperature: Protect from frost and cold, wet conditions.

Pruning: Pinch growing tips as needed to encourage a fuller plant.
