Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry to the touch. Provide more water during prolonged heat or dry spells. Overwatering can cause root rot. At the time of planting apply a slow-release all-purpose fertilizer according to instructions. Supplement with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer once a month. Pinch stem tips on young plants to promote branching and a full habit. Coleus flower late in summer with spikes that are commonly trimmed off for a neater appearance and to promote foliage growth. Can be adapted as a houseplant by providing bright but indirect light such as a bright window or grow lights, ensuring adequate humidity, and keeping temperature above 60 degrees F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Info:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnjoy free shipping on orders over $175\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize at shipping varies by season, plant, and trimming schedules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrande Annual plants are 4-8 in tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoyale Annual plants are 8-12 in tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/provenwinnersdirect.com\/blogs\/garden-resource-center\/proven-winners-direct-planning-a-garden-101\"\u003e\n  Read our guide to get started with planning a garden\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners®","offers":[{"title":"4.25\" Eco+ Grande \/ Ships Now","offer_id":50820760731787,"sku":"COLPRW1387501","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0316\/4019\/1115\/files\/COLPRW138-CloseUp-1.jpg?v=1792587045","url":"https:\/\/provenwinnersdirect.com\/products\/colorblaze-velveteen-coleus","provider":"Proven Winners Direct™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
