Gay's Delight Coleus, 5" Pot
Light Requirements
Prefers partial sun to shade. Can tolerate some morning sun, but protection from intense afternoon sunlight helps preserve its vibrant leaf coloration.
Water Requirements
Prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil. Do not allow the soil to dry out completely, as coleus can wilt quickly in dry conditions.
Toxicity
May be mildly toxic if ingested by pets, potentially causing gastrointestinal discomfort, so it’s best kept out of reach of curious animals.
