Water Gently: Water the soil gently to keep it moist but not soggy. Ensure the water drains well and doesn't accumulate around the seeds.

-
Germination: Green Coleus seeds typically take 10-14 days to germinate. Keep the soil moist during this period.

Transplanting: Once the seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into your desired garden location or container, ensuring they have access to partial or full shade.

Maintenance: Regular watering will help the plants thrive, but be cautious not to overwater. Fertilize occasionally with organic fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.
Growing Tips:
-
Green Coleus is excellent for container gardening, hanging baskets, or as ground cover in shaded areas.
-
While coleus plants are hardy, avoid extreme temperatures and frost. Bring potted coleus plants indoors during colder months to protect them.
