Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your coleus live plants is straightforward, ensuring that even novice gardeners can enjoy their spectacular foliage. These plants are quite adaptable, but providing them with optimal conditions will encourage the most vibrant colors and robust growth. Understanding their basic needs for light, water, and soil will set you up for success.

For sunlight, coleus live plants generally thrive in partial shade to full shade. Direct, harsh afternoon sun can scorch their delicate leaves, causing colors to fade or burn. It’s best to provide them with filtered light, morning sun, or a location with bright, indirect light. If growing an indoor coleus plant, place it near a window that receives bright, indirect light, such as an east or north-facing window. For outdoor coleus varieties, consider planting them under the canopy of larger trees or in spots that get dappled sunlight throughout the day. Consistent moisture is crucial for coleus. Water your plants when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot or planting area has excellent drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Overwatering is a common mistake, so always check the soil moisture before adding more water. During hot, dry periods, they may require more frequent watering.

Coleus plants prefer a rich, well-draining potting mix. A standard all-purpose potting mix with added perlite or compost works well. They are not overly particular about soil pH but generally prefer slightly acidic to neutral conditions. Fertilize your coleus live plants during their active growing season (spring and summer) every 2-4 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop fertilizing in fall and winter when growth slows. Coleus are typically grown as annuals in cooler climates but can be perennial in USDA zones 10-11. They prefer temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C to 27°C) and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C). Pinching back the growing tips regularly will encourage bushier growth and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. This also helps to maintain the stunning vibrant coleus foliage.
