Has anyone ever seen this happen with Coleus? I just bought it and noticed this. It’s super soft, thin, almost like a thin petal in texture, not dried out. It actually shimmers in the light like it’s pearlescent gold or something. The underside looks exactly the same as the top.

No, not exactly! 🤨 It looks like it’s dead tissue and might have happened due to intense light or maybe stagnant water after misting or watering?

I ended up treating it for Downey mildew after reading this thing about it being kore common and it cleared up.
