Plant Features

Fishnet Stockings Coleus Plants feature broad green leaves with a wonderfully intricate veining pattern in deep purple. It's an absolutely striking combination! Coleus grows best in moist, well-drained soil.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Plant in spring after the last frost date
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart, depending on the variety
  • - Coleus can be grown in containers, borders, or as bedding plants

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0 (slightly acidic to neutral)
  • - Use well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter
  • - Add compost or well-rotted manure to improve soil structure and fertility

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water when the top inch of soil feels dry
  • - Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf spotting
  • - Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 2-4 weeks during the growing season
  • - For container plants, use a half-strength fertilizer solution every 1-2 weeks

Pruning and Training:

  • - Pinch back growing tips regularly to encourage bushiness
  • - Remove flower spikes as they appear to promote foliage growth
  • - Trim leggy growth to maintain shape and size

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Watch for common pests like mealybugs, whiteflies, and spider mites
  • - Monitor for diseases such as root rot and downy mildew, especially in humid conditions

Foliage Indicators:

  • - Prized for its vibrant, colorful foliage rather than flowers

Light Requirements:

  • - Protect from intense afternoon sun in hot climates
  • - Leaf color is often more vibrant in brighter light conditions

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Can tolerate brief periods of higher temperatures with adequate moisture
  • - Protect from cold temperatures; damage can occur below 40°F

Companion Plants for Coleus:

Very unusual and interesting

I put these in a potting bowl with Joseph's Coat...they are an interesting color combination and I look forward to seeing them when they mature. It appears I'll be able to propogate them from cuttings as well. Great plants, great company.
