One of my friends has a succulent that when broken, smells like vics vapor rub. Does anyone know what that plant is called?

Well the only thing I can think is eucalyptus, but I don't think that is a succulent. That's what is in Vicks though. I dunno. Can you find a picture of it maybe?

I have one too. It is not a eucalyptus plant.
Here it is http://www.plantoftheweek.org/week284.shtml
It is very hardy; I put it outside in the summer & inside in the winter.
If you would like, I can try to root it & send you a start if it works.

That is awesome. If you have enough to spare I wouldn't mind some too. ;)

I would love to have one of those. Where would I find it? Do you bring it indoors during winter?

Very interesting thread...I had never heard of a Vicks Plant...so, I looked up Lisa's web-link. That is very cool!
Has anyone ever seen the purple bloom? And does it only grow in dry climates?

If some one can propegate starts I wouldn't mind having one.

blessings,
peggy
