Use a grow light if your home lacks natural sunlight to keep the foliage vibrant. If it doesn't get adequate light, it may become 'leggy'. Pinch tips of plants to encourage it to grow fuller.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e🌡️ Temperatures ranging from 60-75°F are fine for your inch plant, but do not lower the temperature below 55°F. Avoid large swings in temperature as well as hot and cold drafts. Keeping your plant in an area with about 60% humidity is ideal Since most homes sit around 30-50% humidity, you can provide additional humidity from a humidifier, pebble tray, or daily misting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e💧 Let the top 1-2 inches of soil dry out between waterings. This will probably mean watering once every 1-2 weeks but be sure to check regulary. Keep evenly moist but never let the pot sit in water. Water less frequently in fall and winter when growth slows down. Drooping leaves can be a sign that the plant is thirsty. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e💊 Indoor Coleus plants need light feeding with a high-nitrogen, low phosphorus fertilzer during spring and summer to support vibrant leaf growth while discouraging flowers. Fertilize once a month or every 3 to 4 weeks only during active growing season. (Spring through summer.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e🪴 Coleus prefers well draining soil to prevent root rot. An ideal soil mix is general all purpose potting soil. Ensure pot has drainage holes to aid water flow. If you trim the tops of plants you can easily propagate in water and then add back to the planted pot or create a new plant!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e🐜 All plants from Passionate Gem are treated monthly with a natural spray consisting of hydrogen peroxide, natural soap and neem oil diluted with water--but that doesn't mean once they go to a new home it can't catch a critter infestation from surrounding plants or soil. (Even flowers can be a carrier of pests!)  Preventative maintenance Is key! Check your plants often, clean leaves by giving the occasional shower or wiping with a clean damp cloth. Use clean pots and fresh quality soil when transplanting. A spray, like mentioned above, is a really great preventative measure as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFollow these care tops to ensure your plant is not only surviving but thriving!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Passionate Gem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53185891762496,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/5163\/9872\/files\/IMG_7510.jpg?v=1789846861","url":"https:\/\/shoplichenliving.com\/products\/coleus-plant-431-by-passionate-gem","provider":"lichen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
