For me I accidentally stumbled upon growing Coleus inside as a houseplant. I had always thought of it strictly as an outdoor summer container plant. But a couple years ago I wanted to bring my large plants inside to overwinter. Over the past couple years I've learned the techniques for keeping your Coleus happy inside the home all winter long. And those techniques go hand in hand with frequent propagations of my plants. In this video I will demonstrate how to take great cuttings of your Coleus, how to propagate Coleus directly in soil as well as in water, and I will give many details on how to grow them successfully as houseplants all year long. #coleus #houseplants #propagation

My grandmother always had Coleus in the house.❤ Now I know what to do. Thank you
I over winter Coleus every winter. I stick them in a jar with a narrow opening, water, and cover it with plastic wrap and a rubber band to hold it on. Then I make a hole for every stem going in. This keeps the water level from going down too quickly and keeps the water warmer in the sun. I literally have left them in water all winter long (because I was being lazy) just topping off when needed. I plant them outside and they are beautiful. One thing he didn't mention that is really important is when you have them outside you have to keep pinching them back. You do NOT want to let them flower. Once they do that...they're done. Always pinch off a stem to root that is not flowering.
Great video, Devin. SECRET #1: I find a robust rooting system can develop in water; a key is to use the brown glass vitamin bottles - they exclude the light and they're the ideal height for a 4" cutting. And I agree with you that coleus overwintered indoors can look melancholy . . . UNLESS. . . . Unless you try SECRET #2: In mid-August, while light levels will guarantee a rapid recovery, cut your more beloved coleus back to 6" height. The plant will develop a smaller new structure to make it quite presentable over the winter, and to provide a new scaffold for next year's growth.
Had my coleus for years! Constantly give it hair cuts and make wonderful gifts for people, easy!
I discovered Coleus last summer....my new favorite plant...so much color!
Yay! Now I know how to keep my Coleus plant and stop wasting money throwing summer plants away. Thank you.
I've just started to grow and propogate Coleus so I came across your post .. Such an informative and clearly explained video, many thanks 👍
Devin, you are a wonderful and awesome teacher. Thank You!!😊
I grew coleus from seed for the first time this year. They grew beautifully! Never thought of propagating them!
Thank you for showing each detail in detail.
I like how the OP compares two identical plants to different growing situations to make a decision about their best placement and treatment.
Love your "thorough" approach to this topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thx!
Perfect timing. I will give this a try in a few weeks. Thank you.
