How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level; DLI is the daily light “dose” for grow lights.
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none — whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.

Natural Habitat of Coleus scutellarioides 'Stained Glassworks Spacecake'

How to Care for Coleus 'Stained Glassworks Spacecake' Indoors

- Humidity Requirements: Prefers 50 – 70%. Mist lightly or place on a humidity tray if air is dry.
- Soil Composition: Use a loose, well-draining substrate enriched with compost and perlite.
- Feeding: Apply a liquid fertilizer once a month from March to September.
- Repotting Tips: Repot yearly in spring if root-bound. Always use a pot with drainage holes.
Managing Shape and Propagation for Coleus 'Stained Glassworks Spacecake'
- Pruning: Pinch growing tips weekly to maintain a compact form and prevent legginess.
- Propagation: Take 10 – 15 cm stem cuttings, remove lower leaves, and root in moist substrate or water. Maintain 22 – 24 °C until rooted.
- Hydroponic Compatibility: Performs well in hydro setups with proper aeration and nutrients.
Troubleshooting Common Issues with Coleus 'Stained Glassworks Spacecake'
- Pale or Washed-Out Leaves: Caused by insufficient light. Move closer to a window or use a grow light.
- Drooping or Curling Leaves: Often due to underwatering or temperature stress.
- Yellowing: Signals overwatering or poor drainage. Let topsoil dry before rewatering.
- Pests: Watch for aphids, whiteflies, or spider mites. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
