So this is #4, ati-ati or coleus. It's red in colour though ati2 (also known locally as nilam, bangun-bangun) is known to be in many other colours which makes it a beautiful plant for the laman.Been wanting to have it before and settled for this since the price offerred at the nursery in Nilai 3 was rather cheap, RM2 per polybag. So bought just one!
I found it rather easy to plant and had it propagated to a few more new plants. Will find time to propagate more. Just see the pic and you know what I mean.
Read about ati-ati that can be used as a cough deterrent.
Ati-ati is also said to have other medicinal values. However, due to the many varieties of ati-ati ie the different colours; different plants may have different medicinal values or are they the same?
