If the humidity is low where Colorblaze Royale Cherry Brandy Coleus is to be planted, plant in part shade or shade.
Colorblaze Royale Cherry Brandy Coleus can be grown as a houseplant. You can also bring them in for the winter. In that case, you need to check each plant for diseases or pests and take care of that before it gets in the house. Place Colorblaze Royale Cherry Brandy Coleus in bright light inside. Since many homes have low humidity in the winter, it is necessary to augment the humidity level where the plant lives.
