Coleus Plant Care tips

          When spring flowers starts fading and wilting  with every day spike in the temperature colorful  coleus gives a sight of relief in dearth of flowers .               

                                                         


Coleus is an easy thriving colorful leaf plant that can easily be grown through seeds and also with propagation of its stem cuttings.                                                                                                            




Although it can be grown easily throughout the year since it is a soft wood tender plant that ca not withstand extreme weather conditions .Excessive hot or cold climate can  drastically effect the health of plant and even in some cases plant can die too.                                                                


These simple tips can help you grow  coleus plants  easily                                                                    
         - Coleus plant loves water specially in hot climate;                                                                                                              
- It should be kept in indirect sunlight for best growth and protected from frost in winter and heatwaves in summer;                                                                                                            
                                                                                                  
- They perform best when they are pruned periodically and when there inflorescence is being removed from time to time ;                                                                                             
                                                                                               
      - Its better to prepare new cuttings after every six months for the best colors and keeping plants in shape ;                                                                                                                     
     - Although there is no special soil requirement of coleus but still it prefers rich sandy soil for best growth.

  9. Always wanted a Coleus, but never did. Have to remember next time I go to the store:)Love the Hawaiian hibiscus. In California, Hibiscus does very well, but I have never seen the rounder Hawaiian kind! the sky reveals much wind going on. Since I live in the mountains, I look every day at the sky:) Many thanks for capturing these beauties for All Seasons:)Jesh

  16. I love your Coleus - mine are propagated and replanted back by cuttings. They do tend to die once get matured and so I have to be watchful not to loose that particular variety from negligence.

    Indeed your garden is so colorful.
