  • By now, many of you know that the coleus ranks as one of our all-time favorite plants. We love them as indoor plants and out in the landscape. In preparation for summer planting outside, we once again walk you through the steps of how we take cuttings from our "mother plants" to maximize our growing and planting potential.

    I love coleus plants. There are so many varieties and the colors are beautiful. My very first plant was a pink and green coleus. I bought it for a dime in the early 70s at a community craft fair. I was 7 or 8 years old. My Arkansas granny taught me how to root cuttings from it and I had a whole rolling plant stand full of the little buggers in no time. I still had babies from that first coleus when I moved into my first apartment years later!

    overnight temps still quite cold.. high 40's-mid 50's!! It was a short season for my coleus un zone 5b (NWIndiana-South East Chicago, IL). The best ones that survived were "Silk Stocking", dark burgundy, Electric Lime and celery/dk green edged varieries this year. Beautiful show and bushyness.

      That's a rooting agent or rooting hormone. It helps plants develop roots, but as we mentioned in the video, we don't find it necessary with coleus propagation. In fact, our cuttings do better without them. Some plants may benefit, we don't think it's necessary here.

      We have found that the best solution is to place the pots onto deep saucers and water the plant by filling the saucer and letting the plant/soil soak it up. This way, you're not watering directly on the soil to provide a moist environment for gnats to thrive.
