Plectranthus are versatile plants that are not very fussy about the care they receive but leave a lasting impression because of their beautiful variegated foliage. The FanciFillers™ Guacamole Plectranthus will add instant style to a landscape or container thanks to its unique foliage. The broad, textured leaves have scalloped edges and are primarily yellow but are randomly spotted with avocado green variegation. Deep red stems support the foliage.
This plant is a vigorous grower that also blooms during the summer, but the flowers are rather insignificant compared to the foliage. Feature the FanciFillers™ Guacamole Plectranthus in a landscape that needs leafy color or use as a filler in a container. The naturally mounded growth habit gives the plant a full look, and it takes on the role of filler in a container. Pinch back growth to maintain a bushy appearance.
FanciFillers™ Guacamole Plectranthus Care
This plant can live in full to partial sun but stick to partial sun to promote more intense color and variegation. Ideally, Plectranthus should receive 4 to 6 hours of sunlight each day. Plectranthus prefers evenly moist soil, so give the plant a drink when the top couple of inches of soil feel dry. Plant Plectranthus is rich, well-draining soil that has an acidic pH. Apply a 10-20-10 fertilizer once a month to support new growth.
Move the Plectranthus indoors for the winter to continue enjoying its leafy good looks. As a houseplant, Plectranthus requires lots of bright light and routine watering.
FanciFillers™ Guacamole Plectranthus Spacing
The FanciFillers™ Guacamole Plectranthus is a medium-sized plant that will grow 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. As a landscape plant, space Plectranthus plants 18 to 24 inches apart. For container-grown plants, feature 2 to 3 in a 12-inch container.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
