Sunlight Full Shade, Part Sun::Watering Keep soil moist::Soil Moist, well-drained, pH 5.6 - 7.5::Temperature Coleus should be kept at a 15-20C (60-70F) over winter:: They will survive down to 10C (50F) but only if kept dry::Losses to rot and fungal diseases are high if the plants are allowed to get cold and damp::Nutrients Fertilise with a diluted (50% mix) liquid fertiliser, too much feeding with high nitrogen fertilisers, encourages soft growth and poorer quality foliage.::Soil should be mixed with well rotten Cow dung. Sow seeds in beds and cover seeds with a thin layer of soil::Maintain a distance of 0.5 feet between plants:: Irrigate immediately and then as per requirement but the soil should remain moist always::Flowering starts after 7-8 weeks after sowing which continues for a longer duration
