Care guide for Coleus

Mahmood Naderan

10 years ago

I have a coleus
since the second of October (about 22 day ago). I tried to care it with
sun and water feeds. You can see it in the following pictures. Please
let me know, if it is healthy or not? what should I do for it? Some big
leaves fell down in recent days, but I can see some very small ones are
growing. Is the color of leaves OK?

This is an old post. However I want to mention that coleus is mostly a shade plant. It does not like sun. From what I can see in your pictures the leaves appear to be OK. I do not know what the white spots on the stem are.
