Planting Instructions

- Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining, fertile soil for optimal growth. For containers, use a high-quality potting mix.
- Planting Seeds: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or sow directly outdoors once temperatures are consistently warm. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and keep the soil consistently moist until germination.
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but well-drained. Water regularly but avoid waterlogging.
- Temperature & Humidity: Ideal growing temperatures range from 60-75°F (16-24°C).
Care Tips
- Pruning: Pinch back the stems to encourage bushier growth and prevent leggy plants.
- Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.
- Repotting: If growing in containers, repot when the plant outgrows its pot to provide more room for growth.
- Pest Control: Keep an eye out for pests like aphids or mealybugs, which can sometimes affect Coleus plants. Use organic insecticidal soap to treat infestations.
