A little different with more green on the margin of the leaf.

Ussualy i do not spray them often, but it was dust on the leaves dueto repoting. Besides that i like them alot, i learned that due to self-polination of the mother plant, all the plants have her colour characteristics.
The soil is a mix of the following parts, so the water drains and evaporates more often:
- 1.5 soil, 1 quartz sand and about 0.5 of old sandy type of soil.

Coleus have so much variety and color. I had quite a few of them and did quite a few cuttings this spring. I ended up getting a really bad mealy bug infestation which was weird because the only plants they went after were the Coleus. I removed all the coleus and tried a few different things but they really destroyed the Coleus collection in no time. I gave some cuttings to my sister before the outbreak. I wonder if she still has them...
