How to Sow and Plant

Sow Coleus seeds on the soil surface without burying them deeply as they need light to germinate.

Lightly mist the soil to keep it moist but not waterlogged. Maintain a warm temperature between 20–24°C.

Use a well-draining potting mix and cover the tray lightly with plastic until germination occurs.

Seeds typically sprout within 10–14 days.

How to Grow

Place the plant in bright, indirect light to maintain rich foliage colors.

Water regularly but avoid water stagnation.

Pinch growing tips to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess.

Use a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during the growing season.

Protect the plant from harsh midday sun to avoid leaf burn.

Tips

Pinch stems often to maintain shape.

Keep soil consistently moist.

Avoid strong direct sunlight.

Ideal for pots, borders & shaded areas.
