💡 Care Tip: Place your Black Dragon Coleus in bright shade or gentle partial sun to maintain healthy growth and rich foliage coloration. Keep the soil moderately moist while avoiding standing water. Pinch the growing tips regularly to encourage a fuller, bushier shape and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Some temporary wilting or minor leaf loss may occur during shipping, so allow the plant several days to acclimate before repotting or exposing it to stronger sunlight.
