Plectranthus Scutellarioides (Coleus)

Plectranthus Scutellarioides, commonly known as Coleus is a gorgeous type of ornamental plant with multi-hued foliage grown usually for their leaves rather than blooms. The plant thrives when given an excellent light source, and the colours will be more vibrant as well. Coleus can be pruned regularly to keep the plant compact and neat as the growth rate is quite fast in ideal conditions. It is also advisable to remove any flower buds when they appear as the plant often die after flowering/ after the flowers set seed.
