About a month ago I bought this beautiful coleus from a nursery. Its leaves were ruffled with serrated edges and a beautiful bright yellow green color. I loved it immediately and kept it on the sunny edge of my balcony. I thought it loved it there...
Until one day last week when I noticed that its leaves had burned. Delhi in summers gets very hot and the temperatures here are already touching 42 C/108 F and the tiled floor of my balcony gets very hot too. I guess it got too hot for it. I am surprised it happened so fast that I did not notice it . I wish I had kept it in the shade.
And this is what it is looking like now. Though the little leaves at the bottom give me hope I am not sure it will survive...

I have also bought Coleuses but kept them in the shade..Its pretty much the same weather here.In the past few days,I have lost a lot of plants also due to the heat.
ReplyDeleteI hope the plant bounces back later. Mine is doing well in partial shade. Not as pretty as yours. This one has beautiful foliage. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteSujata, I have not grown this green coleus before. It's a pretty one. I pity it got burnt. I hope those little leaves will grow bigger and more leaves later. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteI killed 2 plants recently. Same like you, I bought 2 beautiful flower plants and in a month they got burnt because of less sunlight in gallery.
