Coleus scutellarioides 'Stained Glassworks Spacecake' at a glance:
Coleus scutellarioides 'Stained Glassworks Spacecake' earns its name by layering lime, burgundy, cream, and green into leaves that really do look cut from coloured glass. The patterning is more complex than on most compact coleus cultivars, but the plant stays manageable because the habit is upright, bushy, and easy to keep tight with regular pinching. It works especially well where a small plant needs to do a lot visually, whether on a shelf, in a window grouping, or as a contrast in mixed planters.
Keep 'Stained Glassworks Spacecake' in bright filtered light and water before the substrate swings from damp to bone dry. Good light keeps the colours layered and distinct, while pruning prevents the stems from opening too far. With that simple routine, it behaves like a compact foliage statement rather than a fussy seasonal accent.

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;
- 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.
- Toxicity & safety: chemical irritants/toxicity and physical hazards (spines, bristles).
- Origin & habitat: native region + typical biome/habitat as context.
