Care: Coleus prefers rich soil with good drainage that is kept evenly moist. 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.
