COLEUS

Light: ☀️ Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade. Some newer varieties tolerate more sun, but too much direct sun can scorch the leaves.

Water: 💧 Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Don’t let it completely dry out. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry.

Soil: 🌱 Rich, well-draining soil. A peat-based potting mix works well indoors or in containers.

Temperature: 🌡️ Enjoys warm temps (60–75°F / 16–24°C). Sensitive to cold—do not expose to frost.

Humidity: 💦 Likes moderate to high humidity. Misting can help in dry environments.

Fertilizer: 🌼 Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer.

Pruning: ✂️ Pinch off flower spikes and trim leggy stems to keep the plant bushy and full. Regular pruning promotes vibrant foliage.

Growth Habit: 🌿 Grown for its colorful, variegated leaves in shades of green, red, pink, purple, and yellow. Perfect for containers, borders, or indoor displays.
