Care
Coleus thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and avoid allowing it to dry out completely. Regular feeding with a balanced fertiliser will promote healthy, lush foliage. Pinching back growth will encourage bushiness, and flower spikes should be removed to prolong the vibrancy of the leaves. Coleus is sensitive to frost and should be brought indoors or treated as an annual in colder climates.
