Maroon Coleus Ornamental Plant – with Pot

Description

Coleus is the traditional name for a genus of popular landscape plants that have now been reassigned to the genera Plectranthus and Solenostemon. Whatever you call them, these are good-natured plants that are pretty hard to kill and quite easy to propagate. Coleus is a tropical perennial plant that is normally grown as an annual by gardeners. These plants are great for adding color in the garden (or home), especially in those dark, drab-looking corners. One of the few plants grown almost entirely for its foliage, coleus is actually easier to grow in containers than in the ground because it thrives in the loose texture of good potting soil.

Coleus Plant’s Care Instructions:

Water:  Water regularly. Coleus are thirsty plants, so keep the soil moist. However, avoid overly damp soil, as this can cause leaf drop. We recommend using self-watering containers.

Fertilizer: Feed regularly with a water-soluble or liquid fertilizer — about every 2 weeks for container-grown and every month for in-ground plants — to promote lusher growth and richer leaf colors.

Soil: Any average, moist, but well-drained soil suits them.

Light: If the colors of your coleus plant look washed out and dull, it might be getting too much sun. Traditionally, coleus is regarded as a shade lover, and while recent cultivars have made this plant more tolerant of sunlight, it still does not like direct, sustained sunlight.
