Just wanted to laugh at how dramatic this Coleus is 😂 I water it daily or every other day because it’s thirsty and in a terracotta pot and I was a whole 12 hours late watering it so it wilted like it was the end of the world 🙄 I watered it and by the next morning it was fine lol

They can have pretty extensive root systems a larger pot would help

That’s the plan! I only got it a little bit ago in a trade, so I’m letting it adjust before repotting.

I have a peace Lily with this kind of energy. Dramatic b\*\*ch 🤣🤪

Lol I’ve seen photos of their dramatics 😂 I have cats so I’ll never own one, but they definitely have a lot of character!

Haha that’s great. Coleus are awesome and such stunning plants with their colors. Def needs a bigger pot for as thirsty as it is.

It just wants to grow 🙌🏼😝
