Yes, this is a great video. My mother has a coleus plant that she has been utilizing the technique of placing cuttings in the water for 42 years. So, every year, she gives out pieces of this now 42 year old plant.
I always save cuttings of coleus in water for the whole winter and plant them outside in the spring, this way I never need to buy more each year. Thank you for the video!
I did save cuttings last winter. They survived in water all winter in jars on my windowsill. I finally moved them to soil in April. I had to keep the soil very wet while the roots transitioned. I plan to do this every year.
I so sad that I’m going to have to dig up my beautiful coleus in my garden and through it away over the winter. Now that I’ve found your Chanel I’ve learnt how to save it. Thank u so much. I appreciate u for sharing 🙏🏾
This is a GREAT video! Thank you so much for simply instructing us on how to prepare our beautiful summer coleus plants for their overwintering and propagation for the following summer! I get so bored by folks who share their superfluous information, however, well-intentioned they may be, before getting to the point of what their video is about.
Thank you. I plan on overwintering my coleus this year and I wasn’t quite sure if I wanted to dig them up or make cuttings. Now I plan to do both ! 🍁🍂🍁💚🙃
Hi, just found your channel today and watched because I pinched a couple of cuttings from a relative's outdoor Coleuses and they wilted on the short drive home. I treated them with Neem Oil because I saw a Squiggly (and I hate Squigglies🤣🤢) and have them in water. I hope they pep up like you said. Great video!!
Great timing coming across your page. I had no idea you could root coleus, this will be my Sunday project tomorrow morning. Thank you, very informative!!
Beautiful collection you have there. This year I'll definitely winter several inside my east facing patio door. Hopefully the light is sufficient to keep them happy.
Thank you. They should be fine. What I learned from overwintering coleus. They will do fine by a sunny window or indirect light. The ones I had trouble with indirect light were the ones that are for full sun
I have tried these methods a few times and sometimes works sometimes didn't. One thing I found was I had waited too long to take cuttings and they had developed the starts of the flowers. Even cutting the flowers off, seemed to make the cutting do that rot thing you showed. And I never was able to get them rooted nicely directly into the soil. I believe a lot had to do with the lack of any good light in my apartment. But I enjoyed the ones directly in water for a long time, as long as I did not let them flower!
You can, personally I prefer to use fresh soil to avoid bringing pests indoors and new soil has nutrients so I don't fertilize. Thank you for watching 😊
Thank you ma'am for this beautiful video...watched ot today... please elaborate where to put coleus after shifting to indoor and do we have to keep them in water only till march or april or which month....
Thank you. After the cuttings have developed roots, they need to be planted in small containers until May when temperatures are above 50 degrees Fahrenheit at night, then they can be placed outside
New subscriber here ... I just received a coleus cutting from a friend a let it sit in water for a few days. Just planted it in the ground and hoping it will return next Spring zone 6B/7A.
I have lots of Coleus and a friend has asked me for 20-30 plants in the spring. My problem is that we don't have any places with light. We live in a backsplit house and don't have window sills. We're in a 5b zone, so nothing can stay outside. I'm hoping you can give me some advice because your video was really informative.
Hello, I’ve bright all my coleus in for the winter. I am limited on space near windows for sunlight. Should I place the coleus under grow lights? If it what do you recommend?
Thank u for sharing I going to plant them out in my name t with a home made chinken wire around them as these plants are very very toxic to kids and pets ! Cats love to eat them ! But I love these plants ! So thought to make chicken wire box ❤

thank you, good to know.
Awesome video. I'm overwintering for the first time and your video was very reassuring! Thank You!
Thank you😊.
Nice informative video, I use water for Coleus cuttings, works great for overwintering
Thank you and thanks for sharing what works for you

You are right. What I found is the rooting in soil works for me better when the coleus are outside before I bring them indoors
Hello. I saw your videos by chance on RUclips. I watched his sincere work with interest. I send my respects and greetings.
Thank you for watching😊
I very much enjoyed your video and intend to follow it. Thank you very much.
Thank you for watching😊
Thank you very helpful!!

Would just cutting back my coleus work, or should it always be repotted? Thank you for your video. It was very helpful.
You can, personally I prefer to use fresh soil to avoid bringing pests indoors and new soil has nutrients so I don't fertilize. Thank you for watching 😊
Thank You, Its almost that time to think about bringing my Coleuses inside. :) Bless.
You are welcome!. Yes indeed. Thank you for watching😊
trying it for the 1st time...awaiting root growth, then into dirt and put in a sunny window
😊🌿🍃
Most coleus are not sun loving....unless it's 1 of the new hybrids.
@tarot.plants.mentalmoods . Yes, you are right. Most of color blaze of proven winners are sun loving

Thank you for subscribing!. I think you need to keep your coleus indoors for winter. They are hardy for zone 10-11.
They do not return.....they are a annual....you need to grow in a container inside or propagate.
If you live in a zone that freezes or even has frost they will not survive the winter outside.
I have lots of Coleus and a friend has asked me for 20-30 plants in the spring. My problem is that we don't have any places with light. We live in a backsplit house and don't have window sills.

Try growing under grow lights
I find cutting shorter stems over winters better if you don't have a lot of space.
Oh good to know. Thank you for sharing 😊
Hello, I’ve bright all my coleus in for the winter. I am limited on space near windows for sunlight. Should I place the coleus under grow lights? If it what do you recommend?
Yes you can. I just use my regular lamp
Big like 👍 very nice sharing wow so beautiful coliyas my fevrit coliyas ❤❤❤❤🎉 New friends 🎁🔔

That is great 😃. Thank you for watching
If I overwinter coleus where inside the house would I put them? Do they need to be in a dark, cool spot? Or near a window with indirect light?
Indiret light. I also have some by a window that gets morning sun.
What brand name of potting soil do you use? It looks like peat moss with a little bit of perlite.
I use miracle gro potting mix. And you are right it has pea moss, and perlite
What do you feed these beautiful Coleus?
I just water them. I rely on the nutrients from the potting mix when I plant in containers and when I plant them in the ground, I use compost.
Thank you so much nice video colours, where you buy from on line pls can give details
Thank you. Yes, try Rosy Dawn Coleus for plants and Swallowtail for coleus seeds
@@HostaandLilyGarden you can send for me some seeds
Oh I am sorry, I don't collect seeds. I buy my coleus seeds from Swallowtail online
From which website have u purchased yellow and red combination coleus?
Swallowtail seed company
@@HostaandLilyGarden ok wl see thanks
@@HostaandLilyGarden could u plz share it’s link m unable to find and also is it possible to order online as m from India
swallowtailgardenseeds.com . I don't know if they do
I can not keep in greenhouse without getting mesly bugs!
I am sorry. Can you keep it inside your house?
Kiprobalom koszonom❤
What do you do to prevent earwigs and snails from eating your coleus ?
Oh I haven't had the issue yet. I am sorry.
@@HostaandLilyGarden Sprinkle coffee, even used, around the plant. Best, around the pot perimeter so that they never even climb up and in.
You didn’t mention how to store them once they are planted so they can survive the cold winter temperatures and the little sun light.
Sorry about that. You bring them inside and place them by a window with morning sun or indirect light
Thanks
Where do you overwinter? Do you have to feed?
You place them indoors. No need to feed
3:02
Do you overwinter by letting them go dormant in a dark, cool place or keep them growing in the light and moderate warmth?
I keep them growing. Check out my coleus indoor collection to see them
It has never worked for me
Which one, rooting in water or planting cuttings
