Coleus FlameThrower Chili Pepper

Light

Your Kit will do great in both sun or shade.

Water

Feel the soil a few inches down and water when it feels dry. Do not overwater as these plants are prone to rot if left in soggy soil. During hot and dry times, more watering will be needed and during rainy times, less watering will be needed. Try not to get water on the foliage when watering as this can cause diseases.

Food

Fertilize once a month using a liquid fertilizer or add a slow release fertilizer to the soil according to instructions.

AdditionalCare

If you notice your plants are getting stretched out and leggy at any point, feel free to trim them back and they will branch out. Be sure to fertilize.
