Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover, as light aids germination. Maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) and keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs in 10-14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in bright, indirect light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the danger of frost has passed, harden off the seedlings and plant them outdoors in partial shade. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot weather. Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushier plants. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer for lush foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e25 Kong Lime Sprite Coleus seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824621388086,"sku":"FOLIA2-788","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7081100203_p7v3.jpg?v=1793003709","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/25-kong-lime-sprite-coleus-seeds-lime-green-red-foliage","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
