Identifying Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus australis)

25-Year-Old Mystery Plant with Scalloped Round Leaves

A long-lived houseplant with medium-dark green, round, scalloped leaves that propagate easily from stem cuttings.

Identity

It's Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus australis)—not a true ivy, nor from Sweden, but popular there and ivy-like in habit.

Care

  • Bright light.
  • Keep moist.
  • Excellent in hanging baskets.
  • High-nitrogen fertilizer.
  • Propagate from stem cuttings.

May it thrive for another 25 years!
