Flower Garden - Tips on Growing Coleus From Seeds

Additional Information:

Stage 1 Radicle (Embryonic Root)

• Moisten the media before sowing the seed. If the media is watered after sowing, make sure seeds are not washed away.
• Light is beneficial during germination, or cover very lightly with vermiculite.
• Germination takes approximately 4-5 days. Keep media evenly moist but not saturated.
• Maintain 95% relative humidity until radicles emerge. Coleus is very sensitive to high salts, especially high ammonium during germination. Keep ammonium levels less than 10ppm.
• Germination: 72 -75�F (22 to 24�C)

Stage 2 Hypocotyl (Stem and cotyledon emergence)

• At stage 2 reduce soil moisture slightly to allow the roots to penetrate into the media. At stage 3 allow media to dry further until the surface becomes light brown before watering but avoid excessive wilting to promote root growth and control shoot growth.
• Stage 2: Days=72-75�F (21 to 24�C) Nights=60-65�F (16 to 18�C)

Stage 3 Cotyledon (Growth and development of true leaves).

• Coleus are low to moderate feeders, excessive feed can lead to dull coloration and decreased vigor. Apply fertilizer at rate 2 (100 to 175ppm ,predominately nitrate form with low phosphorus and high potassium.
