So I just gotten this beautiful Kong Rose Coleus plant and as it started to blossom on the top it just started to turn brown. I'm pretty sure it's dying. Is there a way I can fix this. At least bring it back to life? I just moved it to the living room where there is alot more shade with a hint of morning sun light to hit it but nothing seems to be working. Is it too late?

Welcome to the site! I always pinch off the blooms to keep the energy for the foliage. Does the container you have it have a hole for drainage?

Hello thank you for your reply. I will pinch those off and yes it does have one. Is there anything else I should do for this plant?

If possible I would move it out doors with a location that just gets a some morning sun, if unable the location you have it in should suffice.

Your plant looks ok to me. It is a normal thing that the flower stalk will die off. You can just snip the stalk and the plant will produce more flower stalks.

Okay thank you all for your help! I appreciate it. I found a location that I will put it to get the morning sun so let's see the progress!

Sadly my plant did not make it. It just died. Maybe my apartment was too hot when we had these heat waves and it couldn't take it. I'm not sure what really happened but I'm sad now!
