Marble Mania Coleus
Appearance
Striking, marbled foliage with bold splashes of deep green, creamy white, and soft pink.
Compact, mounded habit that fills containers or garden beds without becoming leggy.
Leaves are textured and slightly ruffled, creating visual interest even when not in bloom.
Growing Conditions
Light: Best in bright, indirect light to partial shade. Tolerates some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
Soil: Prefers rich, well-draining potting mix. Amend garden soil with compost for improved drainage and fertility.
Water: Keep consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 1 inch of soil to dry between waterings.
Temperature: Warm-season plant; thrives in USDA zones 10–11 outdoors. Grows well as an annual or houseplant in cooler climates. Protect from temperatures below 50°F.
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity. Mist occasionally or use a humidity tray when grown indoors in dry environments.
Care
Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer.
Pinching: Pinch back new growth to encourage bushiness and prevent legginess. Remove flower spikes when they appear to maintain foliage vigor.
Potting: Repot annually or when rootbound; choose a container only one size larger to avoid excess moisture retention.
Uses
Excellent for mixed containers, hanging baskets, and edging in shaded beds.
Contrasts beautifully with dark-leaved plants or bright annuals; use as a focal foliage plant in small arrangements.
Works well indoors as a decorative houseplant on bright, indirect-light windowsills.
Pest & Disease
Watch for aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites—treat with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil if needed.
Avoid overwatering to reduce risk of root rot and fungal leaf spots. Ensure good air circulation.
Why Choose Marble Mania Coleus
Eye-catching variegation adds color and texture without relying on flowers.
Low-maintenance with regular pinch-pruning and consistent moisture.
Versatile in both container and indoor displays, making it a great choice for Creston gardeners and gift buyers.
