Ordered Tuesday at 8 PM, delivered Wednesday by 9:30 AM. Plant was healthy, tall (about 16 inches), came in the charcoal pot exactly as shown. The packaging was thoughtful — wood shavings, tied stems, no soil spill. Two weeks in and it's already pushed out a new leaf.
I have killed every plant I have ever owned. Got this for the bedroom. Watered it once in 6 weeks. Still alive, still growing. The team also responded on WhatsApp within an hour when I asked if it was getting too much sun. Not paid to say this.
Plant itself is gorgeous and very healthy. Only minor gripe — I expected the medium size to be taller, but it's closer to 14 inches than 18. Still very happy with it. The Khurja ceramic pot is honestly the best part.

Coleus Red is a tropical plant belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. Native to southern India, it's prized for its vibrant, colorful foliage that comes in various shades of red. This ornamental plant is perfect for adding a splash of color to gardens, balconies, and indoor spaces. Its diverse leaf structure and rapid growth make it a popular choice for garden borders and as a companion plant. The plant blooms at the end of long stalks, but it's primarily grown for its stunning leaves rather than its flowers.
Coleus Red thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate partial shade. In tropical regions, it's best to protect it from harsh afternoon sun during summer months. When grown outdoors, place it under the shade of larger plants or in areas with morning sun and afternoon shade. Indoors, position it near a window that receives bright light but avoid direct sunlight which can scorch the leaves. This plant is versatile and can adapt to various light conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings.
Coleus Red loves moisture and prefers consistently moist soil. Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry, as the leaves will droop to indicate when it needs watering. This plant enjoys high humidity, so misting the leaves regularly or placing it in a humid environment can help maintain optimal conditions. During hot summer months, you may need to water more frequently to prevent the soil from drying out. Proper watering ensures the vibrant color and health of the foliage.
