Coelogyne

OrchidaceaeWithout a cool (5–10 °C), drier winter rest it won't flower.

Coffea

RubiaceaeUse lime-free water and avoid harsh sun; from 3–4 years old it can flower and fruit.

Coleus

LamiaceaePinch out the flower spikes – after flowering the leaf colours fade and the plant ages.

Colocasia

AraceaeIt drinks and feeds heavily in summer; store the tuber dry at 10–15 °C in winter.

Columnea

GesneriaceaeKeep it near 15 °C with less water for 4–6 weeks in winter to boost flowering.

Conophytum

AizoaceaeSummer-dormant: keep it dry and lightly shaded in summer; it grows from autumn to spring.

Convallaria

AsparagaceaeIt spreads quickly in shade – use a root barrier to keep it in check.

Copiapoa

CactaceaeExtremely slow with sensitive roots – err on the side of too little water.

Cordyline

AsparagaceaeBrown leaf tips signal dry air or too much fluoride – water with rainwater.

Coreopsis

AsteraceaeShear it back by a third after flowering and it reblooms in a few weeks.

Coriandrum

ApiaceaeIt bolts fast in heat – sow again every 2–3 weeks and give it part shade in summer.

Cornus

CornaceaeOn coloured-stem kinds remove the oldest stems in spring – young stems colour best.

Coryphantha

CactaceaeFlowers emerge from new tubercles at the crown – only well-ripened, sun-grown plants bloom.

Cosmos

AsteraceaeIt flowers better in poor soil – don't feed it or you'll get mostly leaves.

Cotoneaster

RosaceaeSuperb as bonsai – its tiny leaves and red berries stay in proportion at small size.

Cotyledon

CrassulaceaeDon't wipe off the powdery wax on the leaves – it protects them from sunburn.

Crassula

CrassulaceaeThe jade plant flowers in winter after a cool (10–15 °C), dry autumn.
