Coleus vigor

Plectranthus scutellarioides (L.) R. Br.

Coleus vigor is an expert assessment of the overall developmental energy, rate of vegetative mass formation, branching intensity, and plant viability.

In the reference 3 varieties crop Coleus, where this is mentioned in the description.

For coleus, vigor is determined visually and classified on a point scale, where low values correspond to compact and dwarf forms with slow internode elongation, and high values correspond to vigorously growing varieties with an active habit. This indicator directly determines the planting scheme: vigorous varieties require more space in containers and flower beds to prevent the suppression of neighboring plants.

This trait serves as an important indicator of agrotechnical care strategy. High vigor is often accompanied by pronounced apical dominance, requiring regular pinching to form a harmonious bush, as well as an increased need for nutrition and watering. There is also an inverse relationship between vegetative vigor and flowering, in which the removal of inflorescences promotes the redistribution of energy in favor of building leaf mass.
