What is Sun Coleus?
Sun Coleus is a garden plant that is doing well in a partial sun. The plant has wide leaves that come in various bright colors, including green, purple and yellow. Some varieties of Sun Coleus come with multicolored leaves and provide additional color and interest in the garden site.
The annual plant, as soon as the sun is planted in place, will return every spring as soon as the weather warms up sufficiently. The plant is supplied in many series that can be exposed to some sunlight during the day, including the Ducksfoot, Solar Series and Sunlover Series. The different series Coleus has different irrigation requirements and can withstand different degrees of sunlight daily. All varieties must be placed in a soil that has good drainage, because wet soils cause the growth of plants.
Originally Coleus got into popularity in the United States during the 18th century after gaining popularity in Europe Zajezrada. Unlike Sun Coleus had to be older varieties in the shadow almost did not stopE throughout the day. In fact, the solar exposure blends the color of the varieties of the plant that are not friendly to the sun. The leaves of older plants Coleus came in different colors that were darker or more washed up than Sun Coleus today.
The gardener should only plant the sun Coleus after it is not possible to kill frost, because such low temperatures are likely to kill the plant. The plant can be grown in the container inside, but about eight to ten weeks before the weather warms up sufficiently to place them outside. When planting them outdoors, the gardener should place plants between nine and 15 inches apart, which to the roots and leaves enough space not to break those of the surrounding plants.
If the gardener wants to use the existing suncoleus plants to grow more, they do not have to wait for the plants to produce seeds. Instead, the gardener must crop actively growing peaks from existing plants. These peaks must mMidden at least three inches long and have a new growth between two to three buds or new growth. The Gardener then plaits the trimmed peaks in pots, covers them in plastic and keeps the soil wet. After about two to three weeks, the trimmed peaks have sufficient root systems so that the gardener can plant them outside.
