How big is the pot, how much and what kind of light, is it getting a proper level of humidity and how well are you letting the soil drain?

Omg don’t follow plantas water schedule. It’s not customized to your plant until you enter more info. Stick your finger or a skewer in the soil… if it comes out clean it’s dry and time to water. If soil comes out on it it’s still damp. At this stage, rinse the root system and check for mushiness. Snip that away. Sterilize with 3% hydrogen peroxide and water mix. 1:3 ratio. Re-pot…. Make sure the pot is appropriate for the rootball size. About 1-2 inch around.

More questions! Is that a variety of sun coleus or shade coleus? This will make a big difference on how much light you should give it. Coleus will get very leggy if it's not getting enough light. Now is a main growing time so it should be fertilized on a regular schedule. Average soil moisture, not too wet not too dry. Remove any flowers as they develop. Coleus is primarily grown for its foliage. Now this is science according to kjm, the main job of an annual plant, such as coleus, is to flower and produce seeds. Once it has flowered and produce seeds it's job is done and it dies. So remove the flowers and it has to continue growing because it has not completed its job.
