How to Grow Coleus Plants

Coleus are so beautiful !!  I grow these in my garden every year.  This plant offers incredibly colorful foliage in a variety of attractive shapes and sizes.

Growing Conditions:

Light: Bright light, avoiding direct midday sunlight. Too much sun will wash out the colors in their leaves.
Water: Keep soil continuously moist throughout the year, but reduce watering in winter. High humidity is preferred.
Temperature: Above 60ºF is preferred in the summer. In winter, above 50º is best.
Fertilizer: Feed in spring with slow-release pellets or weekly during growing season with liquid fertilizer.
