Dalep6,I am also no expert but have grown mixed coleus in pots and soil for the last ten years with good results.They are located facing north getting only morning sun until approx 10 a.m.,I keep them quite moist,daily watering it gets very hot here in the summer,the only thing I think I do differently than you is I nip the terminal bud immediatly after purchase.I also nip again the new growth that branches out from that,if it becomes too large I become ruthless and pinch the whole thing back about 6 ".Hope that helps you a little.
