Bring colour into your home with the Coleus, also known as the painted nettle. These special plants are very popular thanks to their striking leaves in different colours and patterns. They are often kept as houseplants, but can also be placed outside, either in directly in the ground or in a pot. Beware though, the painted nettle is not hardy. Indoors this unique plant can last for years, outdoors it often only survives a year as it cannot handle temperatures below 10 degrees. There are 8 different varieties of Coleus available, and in this set you will receive three different varieties. The 8 varieties consist of the Coleus Apocolypse, Coleus Black Dragon, Coleus Kong Red, Coleus Pumila, Coleus Renelt, Coleus Rustic, Coleus Shadow, Coleus Trusty Rusty. The three varieties you receive are randomly selected by the grower for the best colour combination.

Care
To keep the colors of the leaves as expressive as possible, the ornamental nettle likes to be in a bright spot with lots of indirect sunlight. When the plant receives direct sunlight, the leaves can scorch. The ornamental nettle also likes to stand in a draft-free spot. Always keep the ornamental nettle's soil slightly moist. It will need more water in the growing season than in the winter. Check the soil regularly with your finger to make sure it is still moist. Is the plant starting to droop limply? Then the plant needs water. Outdoor care for the ornamental nettle is much the same, no direct sun and keep the soil well moist. Take extra care at warm temperatures, as water evaporates extra quickly.

Size
The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 13cm.
