1. How to raise

1. Soil requirements: Coleus does not have high requirements for soil and can grow in ordinary garden soil. However, in order to promote better growth of the plant, it is best to provide it with loose, fertile, breathable acidic soil, which can be mixed with leaf mold, garden soil, and sand. As the plant continues to grow, you can repot it in spring and autumn.

2. Reasonable watering: Coleus cannot tolerate drought and likes to grow in an environment with high humidity. The climate is different in different seasons, and the frequency of watering is different. Water it in time in spring, water it twice a day in summer, and spray it regularly. In autumn and winter, gradually reduce watering.

3. Correct fertilization: The growth of coleus cannot be separated from the application of nutrients. During the period of vigorous growth, you can fertilize once a month. Pay attention to the balance of fertilizers and do not apply too much fertilizer, otherwise it will cause the plant to grow too tall, which is not conducive to growth.

4. Temperature requirements: This plant prefers warmth and grows well in a suitable growth environment. The most suitable temperature for growth can be maintained at around 15-25 degrees Celsius. The wintering temperature should be kept above 10 degrees Celsius and not lower than 5 degrees Celsius.

5. Bright sunlight: The ornamental value of coleus mainly lies in its leaves. To maintain its ornamental value, it must be kept in bright sunlight. In summer, avoid direct sunlight and avoid being overexposed to the sun.
