Silver SpurflowerColeus argentatus

Water moderately, allowing the top 2-3 cm of soil to dry out between waterings. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during the cooler winter months to accommodate slower growth and prevent over-saturation.

Prune Coleus argentatus to maintain a desirable shape and encourage bushier growth. Pinch back stem tips regularly, especially when young.

Remove spent flower stalks to redirect energy into foliage production and improve the plant's overall appearance and vigor.

Propagate Silver spurflower easily from stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots about 10-15 cm long, remove lower leaves, and insert them into moist potting mix.

Roots typically form within a few weeks in warm conditions.

Repot Coleus argentatus annually or bi-annually, preferably in spring, when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current one.

Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure good aeration and prevent moisture retention issues.
