No edits, just the bare truth that I may have killed this one! I think I’ll try the plant dr. part of this app for the first time with this one! Any help is appreciated! This happened so quickly after one of the first waterings since getting him!
I usually plant coleus in planters outside for the summer with lots of sun and water. Outside in hot weather I water them every other day. I would cut it back, water well and see if it sprouts life.

My coleus did something very similar when I first got it. Immediately got sad, droopy, and leaves were dying off. Mine ended up just needing a better spot with less light as it went from being in a shaded spot at the nursery to sitting mere inches from a grow light. Yours looks still saveable as it’s still got a hint of green but I’d downside the pot to match the root ball that’s left and give it less aggressive lighting while still keeping brightness.
2 likes I think I had my grow light way too close…about 2-3 feet away? I’ll try the repot and less intense light…thank you

If there's salvagable green leaf, propagate in water before repotting. They like a couple hours of light then indirect light/shade. Also, if it's from Home Depot, you can return it
