Plectranthus
These fanciful foliage plants are easy to grow and make excellent houseplants or container plants. A great bedding plant, plectranthus can be used with flowering plants to add color with their foliage when other plants may not be in bloom. For best results, make sure to plant plectranthus in good, well-drained soil. One of the surest ways to kill a plectranthus is overly wet soil or pots that hold too much water. These plants are similar to a succulent and can handle short droughts from time to time. Even when the whole plant wilts, it will generally bounce back quickly when watered again.
