🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain vivid colour patterns. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid strong midday rays to prevent leaf scorch.

💧 Water & Humidity

Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top 1–2 cm of soil feels dry. Enjoys normal household humidity; mist occasionally if air is very dry.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Plant in a rich, well-draining potting mix. Repot as it outgrows its baby pot to encourage lush growth and prevent root binding.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Toxic to pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats, dogs, and small children to avoid irritation or digestive upset.

🌱 Growth & Propagation

Pinch growing tips regularly to encourage branching and prevent legginess. Easy to propagate via stem cuttings in water or soil for new vibrant coleus plants.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

Fertilise every 2–4 weeks in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding in winter when growth slows. Rotate regularly to keep even bushy growth.

🐛 Common Issues

• Leaf drop: Underwatering or sudden temperature changes.
• Faded colour: Insufficient light; move to a brighter spot.
• Pests: Watch for aphids and whiteflies; treat promptly with insecticidal soap.
