I use a systemic on my coleus, Bayer tree and shrub 3 in 1. I use about 1/4 tsp in a 2 in container when growing them indoors over the winter. You only need to do it once. My coleus did not do as well this winter though, but I think it might be that my bulbs are getting old. Also they may have been too crowded. Many of them got leggy despite constant pinching. Some did well though. The mariposa looks better now than in this picture. It didn't like the heat. This 'alabama sunset' did well.
