Coleus 'Versa lime'

Irrigation:
Avoid both excessive watering and drought.

Common Problems:
Insects: Aphids, mealy bugs, whiteflies
Diseases: Alternaria, Botrytis, Verticillium
Other: Excessive internode elongation under low light¹

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Versa lime is thought of as tender, so it is imperative to wait until temperatures are mild before planting out of doors.

Use a well-drained, disease-free, soilless media with a pH of 5.5 to 5.8.
Cover lightly with vermiculite.
Light is not necessary.
Keep media evenly moist, but not saturated.¹

Ensure a distance of 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - look to sow at a depth of approximately 0.0 inches (0.01 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 22°C / 72°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Versa lime about 56 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Versa lime is a tender plant.
