- Choose a planting location based on your plants’ needs. This coleus likes full sun to light shade. They will also need about 12 to 24 inches of space to grow.
- Prepare the ground. Remove nearby weeds and grass. Mix in compost or a slow-release fertilizer.
- Dig a hole twice as wide and twice as deep as the pot.
- Remove the pot from your coleus plant by laying it sideways; massage it gently and slowly slide it off the root ball.
- Hold the plant in the dug hole & match the plant’s soil level with the ground.
- Fill the hole with loose soil and press softly, but firmly to compact the plant base.
- Water your newly planted coleus thoroughly right away.
Continuing Care for Your Coleus:
- Water frequently the first few weeks after planting and during dry spells.
- Apply slow-release fertilizer at the beginning of the season.
- A gentle pruning of branch tips can encourage branching.
- When planting in containers, pick a bigger pot that your fast-paced coleus can grow into.
