Forget bland, boring houseplants. These botanical beauties are like living, breathing works of art that range from blazing reds to soft, whispered oranges. Each leaf is a canvas painted with nature's most extraordinary brushstrokes—think sunset-inspired hues that transform your space from ordinary to extraordinary.

Our Coleus collection isn't just a plant; it's a mood, a statement, a conversation starter. From fiery crimson edges that look like they've been kissed by flames to delicate orange gradients that remind you of autumn's gentle embrace, these plants are pure botanical drama.

Caring for your Coleus is a breeze. Being in bright, indirect light is their happy place. They like a refreshing drink of water and prefer their soil to stay lightly moist but not waterlogged. They also prefer to be in a slightly humid position, to pair it with a pebble tray, or consider misting it a few times a day to avoid crisp edges.

Style these show-stoppers anywhere: perched on a sunny windowsill, nestled on your desk, or making a bold statement in your living room. They're the chameleons of the plant world—adaptable, stunning, and guaranteed to make your space sing.

Top tip: Mix different varieties for a living colour palette that'll make your indoor jungle the envy of every plant parent!

Please note: Coleus contains an essential oil that can cause skin irritation in pets. Keep out of reach.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these care instructions to keep your Coleus vibrant.

Water: Coleus plants prefer consistently moist soil. Water them when the top 10cm of soil feels dry. Ensure that the pot or planting area has good drainage to prevent overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Be mindful not to let the soil dry out completely, as this can stress the plant.
Light: Coleus plants thrive in bright, indirect light or partial shade. They can tolerate some morning sun but generally prefer dappled sunlight. Inadequate light can cause leggy growth and a loss of the vibrant leaf colours for which Coleus is known. If growing indoors, place them near a bright window with filtered light.
Humidity: Coleus plants appreciate higher humidity levels. If you're growing them indoors, consider using a humidity tray to increase humidity levels around the plant. Adequate humidity helps prevent leaf drop and keeps the plant looking lush.
Fertiliser: Fertilising coleus plants is essential to promoting healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Use a balanced fertiliser during the growing season (spring through early autumn) and feed your coleus every 4-6 weeks. Reduce or stop fertilising during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.
