Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as they need light to germinate. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F and keep the soil evenly moist. Germination typically occurs in 10-14 days. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow them on in bright, indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the danger of frost has passed, harden off seedlings and plant them in a shaded garden bed or container. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Pinch back growing tips to encourage a fuller, bushier plant. Fertilize monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer. In cooler zones, coleus can be overwintered indoors as a houseplant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e25 Crimson Gold Coleus Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824624009526,"sku":"FOLIA2-794","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7030961556_eysf.jpg?v=1793003720","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-crimson-gold-coleus-seeds-red-gold-foliage-shade-plant","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
