Baby Plants – Coleus Space Cake

Description

Also known as a Painted Nettle, Coleus is a vivid houseplant with bright hues creating an eye-catching effect. Coleus Space Cake is the perfect example, boasting bright avocado-green serrated leaves that are intricately patterned in shades of deep ruby red.

This baby plant thrives in bright indirect sunlight and prefers lightly moist but well-drained soil. It is simple to care for and what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in impact.

Growing your Coleus from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it – that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
