    The Coleus is one of the easiest and most forgiving plants I have every grown. As long as you keep it warm and sort of moist, your Coleus will be a happy plant. Whether you are growing Coleus indoors or outdoors, the beautiful foliage makes this plant a stunner all year long.
    Coleus propagation is also a breeze. You can take cuttings and put them directly in soil or my preferred method, water. At the end of the growing season, Coleus seeds are easy to harvest allowing you to grow Coleus every spring.
    Start your seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or wait until it warms and sow directly on soil. Some Coleus like full sun and others prefer shade. Do a little research and see which is best for your variety, but you can't go wrong with morning sun and afternoon shade. If given to much sun the leaves will bleach.

    Yes, Coleus are lovely foliage plants. From seed,
    they can be a little trying.
    The seeds are extremely small, and the young plants are very vulnerable.
    Watering can be troubling.
    Start them in peat moss.
    Planting soil is a little brutal and they can become somewhat lost, especially when watering. If container gardening, place a funnel in the soil so-as not to disturb the emerging little guy's. It works well.
    "Pinching", or pruning will fill-out the plants so they do not become too lanky.
    Bright - indirect light, and enough of it will make both you and your Coleus happy.

    I strip the cups off the stem and use a fine sieve that only the tiny seeds will fall thru and then rub the cups and the seeds easily fall thru. I make wax paper seed holders and use stapler on dbl. folded sides, so seeds don't fall thru. Then I store in the fridg. Yours is much prettier. Mine is just cheap.🤣 great job on video.

    I just purchased some Black Dragon Coleus Seeds as a growing project for the spooky season (I'm going to grow them indoors)! I'm a sucker for dark (and funnily enough also silver/ white) foliage!
    I've always been a fan of the leaf texture of stinging nettel so to find something similar like the Coleus was really exciting for me. Actually, here inn Germany the common name for Coleus is roughly translated "Colorful Nettle" so that was what initially spiked my interest. Gorgeous plants!!
