Hi Nicole! The roots on your coleus will come from the leaf nodes, so it best to trim off the excess stem and the leaves at the nodes and keep those under water. I’ve been fall rooting and overwintering trailing coleus, alternanthera, wandering Jew, and spider plants that I use in pots and baskets for years. Saves $ and scratches the gardening itch in the winter months here in Ohio.
@@shawnsg is completely right -- no need to cut the stems shorter! Coleus form roots SUPER easily on basically the entire length of the stem that stays submerged in water. I've seen it in person, but you can also find examples through a quick Google image search
@@shawnsg you don't have to put cuttings in water and wait for roots, just take your cuttings put them in a container or ground, water them and they will grow no need to wait for roots. I did a huge container like this works great!!
Oh my goodness, this video reminded me I bought the same coleus seeds for baker creek. I must of misplaced it because I meant to start it weeks ago. Oops! I have been starting coleus from seed for years! I always pinch mine, all summer long. The more you pinch it, the more stems it makes! It's awesome!
I love coleus! I have them in my garden every year. I'll take cuttings in the fall, root them in water and then grow them inside for the winter. Early spring I'll take cuttings from those plants, root those and come summer I'll have dozens to plant outside again.
I use coleus in bouquets all the time. I love them and because they root so easily they actually last so long. I have saved a few plants, to overwinter, and then have been propagating them for the yard to fill in the areas. Once my bleeding hearts are done blooming along with shadier areas in my yard I have free plants. Love coleus...
I started coleus from seed last year but it seemed to take forever to really get going. I had previously seen some in a planter inside an restaurant in the dead of winter and it got me thinking of taking cuttings and keeping some over winter in the kitchen. It worked!!! I kept several of the different kinds so now all I have to do is wait until the weather warms up and I can harden off and plant outside! Yay!!!
You will be amazed at how quickly the roots form. Cuttings I put in water four days ago already have roots popping out. You don't need a green thumb to root coleus. It never occurred to me to use the foliage in a bouquet. Your customers will be surprised because once those stems are in water a few short days they will have roots and can be potted up. It will be like a two-fer for them. A fresh bouquet with a houseplant bonus.
you don't even have to put in water for roots, just take cuttings put them in your potting soil in a container or ground and they will grow!! I did a huge container like this, works great!!
Hi Nicole, I grow my coleus from seed. I pinch them 2-3 times and the stems are still long enough to cut. I wish I could show you the pictures. I will definitely try rooting some this year.
I absolutely fell in love with coleus after seeing it on "the lawrence family farm" YT channel... she had a variety called twister something... it had every color in the rainbow!
Love coleus. I’ve grown from seed and propagated easily. Looks great in planters and in big bunches in the landscape. Keep us posted on their cut flower use.
Wow! Not too many people appreciate the stunning beauty of the coleus! I think if snow flakes when I see them, no two are quite exactly alike! The colors vary from bright greens and pink's to an almost black purple. I usually buy them each year. Unfortunately tried growing some but not much luck sadly. They were one of my mom's favorites. We always paired them with dusty Miller in big pots or whiskey barrels and it always was beautiful together! Thanks for posting! So jealous if your beauties! 😍😍😍😍. Can't wait to see yours grow! Btw my raniculas are almost ready to bloom! So excited!
If you pinch it you wil still get very long stems bushing out...it loves being cut. I have found if I don't pinch it, it is flimsy and prone to fall over.
I can propagate in water but I have 100% fail when I transplant to soil. I wish I knew why. My favorite is French Quarter variety! I overwintered one so I can enjoy its color again. It is very fragile and needy. Must shield from sun, wind etc. A real Diva of a coleus😉
I’ve had the same coleus plant in the house for 5 years. Each spring I take slips and root them in glasses of water on the counter. They root in just a couple of days and then I pot them up and use in big flower pots in the summer. If you take some slips now you’ll have some ready for your seedling sale.
you don't have to put them in water and wait for roots, just take the cuttings put them in soil water them they will grow, I do this all the time and they grow wonderfully!!
You are the ultimate green thumb. Is there nothing you can't do? I wish I had half your success. Good luck with all your projects. Trying to learn from you
The wisteria you purchased is a variety of native American wisteria native up into New York. It is not considered invasive. The Chinese and Japanese wisterias are the ones that are invasive.
Propagating coleus is so easy! Trim those bottom leaves though, just leave the top 2 -4 leaves as the roots come from the nodes where leaves were removed. And yes - leaving it in the water too long is not good. Need a sunny spot for the water glass too.
Nice coleus Nicole 👍 Those are petals? Nah! Lol, sorry for the nitpick. Thanks for the supplier name, I love it when I hear a new name (to me) and will be checking them out since I have a need for some clematis...I have plenty of wisteria and will not let gardening clients plant any unless it's some cultivar that is less vigorous. Too much maintenance to keep big ones in check. Looking forward to seeing those all grow on the deer fence. Rock on in the cold country. EJ in 6b NY
I love Coleus but have never grown from seed. You have inspired me!!! Will definitely give it a try going forward. Also, yesterday’s video with the snow was beautiful. If you need any reassurance that you are an amazing flower farmer…here it is. I live in zone 8b and started my ranunculus about the same time you did. However, I am in a much warmer climate and mine have been in pots outside in the sun for 6 weeks. I do not have a bloom (or even a hint of one) and you are already blooming in zone 4b!! I am in awe. Keep up the great work!
Wow! I did not expect such beauty-ness from those seeds. Remember how run of the mill coleus used to be about a hundred years ago? 🤭 That's what I expected. Your plants rival the PW varieties. My first year propagating coleus cuttings was pretty successful. I got two plants out of many (a dozen?) cuttings. The rest succumbed to dampening off. This past winter was a complete failure. I can attest to rotten stems when left too long in the water. Good chores for snowy days.
In my area (9a), coleus just re-seeds itself. I have found that even if you let it go to flower, you can trim it back down and it will flush back out in just 2-3 weeks. The native pollinators in my area go bananas for it -- probably why I get so much viable seed... but it is interesting to see what seedling I am going to get because of genetic variations and such.
I love coleus for my outdoor pots around the house. I cut a little bit last summer for bouquets. I will get going on some plans for some for cuts this year. Thanks for the motivation. Your colors are gorgeous! Happy Thaw!
Coleus is the first plant I grew when I was a child. Coleus is one of the easiest plant to root too, just like mint and basil. Gorgeous coleus plants, Nicole.🥰❤️🌸
Hi Nichol,I am propagating my coleus since last four years.i use soil to propagate . Believe me just two days and they are growing.they are huge every year.
My experience with Clematis- Getting them established can be tricky, the seedlings like shade but the adults love sunshine so when you put them in the dirt, open the top and bottom of a cardboard box and put it around the seedling for shade until it starts reaching up and over the top. Second, they will spread out in all directions so you can't just give them a climbing wall and be done with it. I use myrtle branch cuttings for stakes, put 3 of them around the plant and wrap the perimeter of the stakes with chicken wire so it encourages them to grow in a big column form instead of choking out everything else in the flowerbed.
This is inspiring. I'm going to plant my Mexican Sunflower seedlings. I think I have around 25 (Gave a few away) I hardened them off already. I need the shelf space on the rack too.
Minutes before I watched your video, I started hardening off my wisteria vine, Henryi clematis, and Jackmani clematis. They have been in my cold frame because the weather has not been reliable enough to plant them in my zone 6. Lol, what a coincidence.
I'm growing the same mix from Baker Creek. I've got a 50 cell plug tray full. The colors are gorgeous, especially the coppery and dark reds. I love the camo and speckled ones, too.
Omg I love coleus! I hate that it gets looked over. I grew some from seed a few years ago and still have one as a houseplant. I had some growing in vases for a long time too. I want to find my seed pack now and grow some more!!
Those seedlings look so lush and healthy! I remember my brother bringing home a coleus cutting they planted up in school when I was around 5 years old and I was completely enamoured with it! A couple years later as a seven year old I bought a six pack of the old school Wizard mix from a garden centre with some allowance money. The cashier asked if it was a Mother’s Day gift and was a bit surprised when I replied it was for me!
I am absolutely crazy about coleus! It might have to do with the fact that it was the very first plant I ever started to grow as a youngster in my Brownie scout project my Aunt Zona mentored. She is also the reason I call all my zinnias "Zona's"...Such sweet memories...Loving all you share from North Idaho zone 6a 💚 🌻 🌿
You are so entertaining Nicole! And such a positive attitude! Love all the info, resources and advise you provide. Very helpful since I am 4b also! Coleus seeds, here I come Lol !
I just pinch them off and stick in the ground/pot if it’s not too hot here, yet. They grow roots quick. They are tremendously unappreciated. Beautiful foliage.
Coleus has quickly become one of my favorites and it is so easy to propagate in water....it can actually live & grow in the water for quite a while. I actually just bought about 6 coleus plants from the stained glass series. Excellent and long-lasting plant 🪴 Great for beginners too. Love ❤️
The coleus I started are juuuuust getting their first set of true leaves and it's exciting to see the color variations! I love using them in the window boxes under my big living room window. It faces north and gets no sun but a mix of coleus and begonias always thrives and looks bright and gorgeous.
Ok now..I've got to try this for sure. Those are so pretty! I can put some in other areas around the property and save space in my market beds. I use to grow coleus all the time in my woodland garden beds. Those ones needed shade. I think now though you can plant some in the sun? Where will you plant those beauties? Sun/shade? oooh can't wait to see what you put together with those!!!
Hi Nicole, I saved seed from two coleus I grew last summer and have tons of babies! Mine are not all that colorful yet but seeing yours makes me so excited! Looking forward to color in shady spots in my garden and trying to use in arrangements as well! Beautiful ❤️😊
I love coleus too! I grew it from seed last year and potted four plants up in one container and it grew three feet high, which might have been from pinching the blooms off once they started. It was so beautiful, the leaves looked like velvet. I didn't know I could use them as a cutting for arrangements or to propagate, thank you so much for the idea! Love this channel!
Amen, Sister! Wisteria is a wicked vine that spreads below ground and above ground, strangling any tree it can climb! I always say, if you like wisteria, just buy the SILK version!
I planted an Amythyst Falls Wisteria at the base of my deck last season. I'm in zone 5B. This particular one is supposed to be more manageable. It didn't do too well last year. We had a ton of rain last summer so maybe that was an issue. Not sure if it made it through the winter as most things not up yet.
Fun idea, love that you grew from seed but you now have to cut the lower set of leaves off of the cuttings, as the leaf node is where the roots will come from.
I love Coleus. And I'm in love with Sweet Potato Vine (the dark one). The Vine is a beautiful filler and a bit of a spiller in a large pot. But it not only adds visual interest, but those dark leaves pop those colors in your thrillers. The Coleus is fantastic on its own, or in groupings, or in the ground. It really does add visual interest and if you plant a lot of flowers (as i do) you need that pop of foliage here and there. If you have only ever grown them in a pot- you simply must try them in the ground. They can get up to 2 1/2' tall! And you can collect the seed or take a cutting to save it through winter. So versatile. Great plants. Easy to care for (and I can appreciate that).
Sweet potato vine and I parted ways some years ago when I found out what a thug it is in containers. There is a PW coleus that has smaller leaves that trail the pot.
@@Edu_Kate I have two giant Urn style Pots. Last year I planted 1 Delphinium in each (Thriller), 1 Bordeaux Purple Supertunia in Each (Filler), and 1 Sweet Potato Vine in each (Spiller). They looked amazing! I love it!

When I was in elementary school, propagating coleus was my pastime. I filled up a whole flower bed with cuts from one single coleus plant.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but a coleus cutting doesn't require a node to root.

I do the same. They used to be sold as houseplants.
I love that the coleus song stuck. We all sing it now.

Mine flopped gonna try again. Yours are fantastic so jealous.
It's official. I've watched all your video for the last month or so. I'm finally caught up!

I love all the coleus from proven winners color blaze series. They grow super fast and can take full sun.
Coleus are my favorite and omg loved your video first time viewer

I love coleus and those are GLORIOUS! That last one you potted up on camera was my fave.
You inspired me to buy Coleus seeds from Baker Creek. Wow, they have free shipping. Cannot wait to grow these seeds. Thank you for an amazing video.
I love the chocolate mint that you’re growing.
You are the ultimate green thumb. Is there nothing you can't do? I wish I had half your success. Good luck with all your projects. Trying to learn from you
Propagating in water happens pretty quickly! 😍
I've had my eyes open for some chocolate drop coleus! It's beautiful!
Hello Nicole
Just wow grew these from seed this year for the first time and they are gorgeous
I think coleus is beautiful too. Love all the fun different colors and designs they have.
Gorgeous Coleus, and also the other plants in the boxes! Love!
I cut back my coleus in the fall and root in water over winter..works like a charm.
The orange in front of the purple/ green looks so good! 💜
Ok, you’ve convinced me. This is the year. I’m gonna grow some coleus.🎉
The wisteria you purchased is a variety of native American wisteria native up into New York. It is not considered invasive. The Chinese and Japanese wisterias are the ones that are invasive.
Coleuses? Coleusi? Are thugs and I love it First year I brought plants. Super cute! The next year grew from seed? 🤯 💥. Enjoy Nic!.
After seeing a border of 70+ unique coleus varieties at an arboretum/horticulture college, I’m going to try growing coleus from seed this year 🌱
Wow Nicole! Everything you plant just grows and thrives! 🥰
Propagating coleus is so easy! Trim those bottom leaves though, just leave the top 2 -4 leaves as the roots come from the nodes where leaves were removed. And yes - leaving it in the water too long is not good. Need a sunny spot for the water glass too.

I grow hundreds of coleus plants from seed. I just potted up the cuttings I had in water. They are doing great.
Pinch your coleus. They grow so fast! As a child, my first houseplants were a snake plant and coleus. Your varieties are gorgeous!
Pinch and grow more! Great filler! They’ll be huge! Love them.
Wow! I did not expect such beauty-ness from those seeds. Remember how run of the mill coleus used to be about a hundred years ago? 🤭 That's what I expected.
Your plants rival the PW varieties.
My first year propagating coleus cuttings was pretty successful. I got two plants out of many (a dozen?) cuttings. The rest succumbed to dampening off.
This past winter was a complete failure. I can attest to rotten stems when left too long in the water.
Good chores for snowy days.
wow that coleus looks so beautiful!! I am going to have to add this my list for next year for sure! 😊😊

Wow a nice one...just pinch it will bushier and long stem too
I wintered over 6 coleus plants and have taken many cuttings to propagate, love love love the varieties!
Well, that will brighten up your day! I LOVE coleus!
I woke up to a winter wonderland this morning too, up here in Alberta.
They are beautiful.. love to see you more flowers.
Coleus makes an awesome greenery in arrangements. Coleus is fast growing like zinnias
OMG I am so excited. I have the same coleus seeds growing and I’m a few weeks behind you (zone 3b). Can’t wait to see mine.
Beautiful coleus.I’m growing mine from seeds too from bakers creek and I love them 🌺😊
Coleus is the first plant I grew when I was a child.
Coleus is one of the easiest plant to root too, just like mint and basil.
Gorgeous coleus plants, Nicole.🥰❤️🌸
Coleus is a member of the mint family as is basil. They both have square stems, and mint family has square stems.
Hi Nichol,I am propagating my coleus since last four years.i use soil to propagate . Believe me just two days and they are growing.they are huge every year.
Wow, mine are no where near that big. Guess i need to pot them up. I just don't have the room.
My experience with Clematis- Getting them established can be tricky, the seedlings like shade but the adults love sunshine so when you put them in the dirt, open the top and bottom of a cardboard box and put it around the seedling for shade until it starts reaching up and over the top. Second, they will spread out in all directions so you can't just give them a climbing wall and be done with it. I use myrtle branch cuttings for stakes, put 3 of them around the plant and wrap the perimeter of the stakes with chicken wire so it encourages them to grow in a big column form instead of choking out everything else in the flowerbed.
This is inspiring. I'm going to plant my Mexican Sunflower seedlings. I think I have around 25 (Gave a few away) I hardened them off already. I need the shelf space on the rack too.
Your coleus looks amazing! I started mine weeks before you and they are half the size. Boo! Good job in zone 4! 👏
Minutes before I watched your video, I started hardening off my wisteria vine, Henryi clematis, and Jackmani clematis. They have been in my cold frame because the weather has not been reliable enough to plant them in my zone 6. Lol, what a coincidence.
Good morning, Nicole. Thanks for the tips on the Coleus 😉 It looks so cozy down there with the fire 🔥 Have a Blessed Day 🌱
Absolutely love coleus! I have been growing it for years, so many different colors!
I'm growing the same mix from Baker Creek. I've got a 50 cell plug tray full. The colors are gorgeous, especially the coppery and dark reds. I love the camo and speckled ones, too.

Good morning ☕💚❤
I love coleus. You should definetely cut and propagate more tops. 🍀⚘🌷🌼🍀
