GARDENING TIPS - Coleus Plants
There are about hundred types of coleus plants. They grow better in winter.
Sunlight - No direct sunlight, grows well in indirect sunlight.
Watering - Only when the soil is dry
Soil - Well drained soil. Mix a little mud in cocopeat, sand and compost.
Fertilizer- Too much fertilizer is not needed. Once in two months liquid fertilizer can be given.
Other tips -
- Pinching is a must, and if they get flowers the flowers need to be removed for the plant to grow.
Propagation - After pinching, use the the leaves for propagation. Just leave the top 2 leaved and dip it in honey and put it in cocopeat. Take cocopeat in a tray, sprinkle water and put the cutting. It grows in 10-15 days. Then it can be transferred to a bigger pot.
