".. I'm used to having a poor-man's everything.." lol I feel that.
Coleus were my first plants : they are so beautiful and so forgiving they made me believe I was a plant specialist 🤣
Hahaha same!! 😂
Try growing succulents...
Same one of my first.
I am a beginner and I love these are so easy and gorgeous LOL
❤
Coleus are so underrated as plants. They are so pretty. They are easy to propagate. They are easy-going, pretty happy plants. I love them! Thank you for the video Pam!
Could you say they’re similar to Purple Hearts as a easy forgiving plant?
I’ve never grown a Purple Heart so I’m afraid I’m not sure!
Ok this is the first video of your that I’ve seen. You crack me up!!! I’ll be watching all of them now. “Humidity Hoes” 😂😂
They ain’t loyal!
1st Time! Loved it, I need to go out and buy a coleus plants NOW! Thank You Pam, see ya❣️
“I keep my humidity hoes in the bathroom”, so funny. :) The goth in me needs that Othello.
It’s so freaking cool! Mine kinda suffered after I got it for a while but it came back swinging!
This has been one of the most concise and informative videos on coleus care I have come across. Thank you for showing us the difference between the coleus that gets full light vs. one that doesn't, examples like that are super beneficial.
I thought I was the only one that grew coleus inside...cool 😎
Woman, listening to you for only two minutes and I like your spirit immediately . Now, I’m going to finish watching what you have to say. Suscribed😊👍
Oh well thanks!! 🥰 welcome aboard the messy express!
I was gifted some cuttings by my partners barber a few months ago. The barber has a massive lush plant in his shop window and I was in awe! 😍 Did I know anything about it? No! Am I glad I’ve kept it in jar of water until now? Yes! I literally potted him up today as he is looking a bit worse for wear as are some of my other plants in the same room. It’s just turned spring in the UK and I’m hoping that with the correct lighting and your excellent tips I can get it thriving. Thank you so much!
Hahaha that’s exactly how I got mine, just some cuttings I let sit a little too long! You got this!
I am a new plant mom, and I bought my first coleus about 3 months ago and kept it outside on my east facing front porch. The lighting worked well and made the plant flourish, but it kept getting eaten each time it grew more beautifully. Then I saw one indoors in a video, and so I just brought her in this morning. She is now in a west facing window, and I have a feeling she's going to be even happier now. Thank you for such an informative video :)
I have a gazillion in my small house so an obsessed. Thank you so much!
I am going home and pinching the heck out of my coleous on my porch to bring it inside for the winter!!! Thanks for the tips.
girl you could not have posted this at a more perfect time! I got my first coleus this summer and I was thinking, how the hell am I supposed to overwinter this? 😂 thank you for the tips. I didnt know they were prone to mildew. I'll have to keep an eye out.
Poor man's plant SO true!! Loving these tips, the one about the amount of sun affecting the color should have been so obvious, but it was an "ah ha" moment for me. My issue with my coleus is I now have 6 of them around the house from one cutting, (and 7 outside in the yard) but I feel bad if I don't propagate when I trim them back! Help! I think I have a little problem😂😉
Every time I have a plant question (not very often) I always come to ur channel and u have exactly the info I want to know! Thanks!!
Thanks for another great video! Can’t wait to try this beautiful colour indoors 😍
I always thought that was an outdoor plant, and then I started bringing them in and taking care of them in the house. They put color to the green plants.
Love, love, love coleus, always have. I had Kong last year and took cuttings. It is huge! Great video. 👍
I love this plant I did not know what I had till almost too late but they propagate wonderfully thank you for your wonderful help
A wealth of information. So many questions answered in one place. I have always loved Coleus and never realized there was so much to know.
Thank you so much for this video! Exactly what I needed, so relived coleus is so forgiving because I impulse purchased one specifically as an indoor plant because it’s so beautiful!
Thank you! Just got my first coleus Black Dragons!! I love them. I'm so happy they will last forever. Great video.💜🙏🏽💜
I subscribed because I like your sense of humor and love the way you describes your plants. ❤️
You had me at #humidityhoes 🤣🤣👍🏾 I NEEDED these tips! Thank you!!🙏🏾
Hahah you’re welcome!!
Thank you so much for answering my GUESTION I did just as you said I have to move it more into the sun
I bought my first Coleus today hoping I could grow it indoors. Thank you for this video!!
I have been growing coleus since the 1970s and have always loved them !
Purchased my first coleus a few weeks ago. It likes the outside and I want to try to over-winter it. Thanks for your informative video. Looking forward to learning a lot more from you.
Thank you so much for the advice and suggestions in growing coleus indoors! Amazing! Love your simple presentation and useful tips. Congratulations! Subscribed!! ❤️❤️❤️💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Hi - Today I purchased Coleus from Wal-Mart. This plant is a favor that I once enjoyed in my younger days, though I am not a dinosaur just yet. 😂 I have never had one in doors to survive, though I believe I can do it. I have indoor grow lights that I believe this will help. I actually could not believe that Wal-Mart was selling them because we have had some frost lately in Virginia, today being Oct/29/2022.
love the color that they provide and not only that I love to watch things grow. Of course, I don't sit there staring for days that would be rude to the plant. 🙃 I like your video and your humor and so I thought I would pass some humor your way. Ok, at least I tried. Have a blessed day. 💛
Thank you. This vid provided me with everything I needed to know. I just caught the Coleus "bug" and want to propagate it, so I can always have some around. Subscribed.
You sure do make it sound easy and your stunning coleus plants prove you know what your doing. I'll have to watch this and your other coleus videos a number of times to work up the courage to give it a go. 👍😁🌿
Thank you for watching!! I really beat up that Rediculous one for years and it kept coming back, they are easy once you get the hang of their needs! 💚
Have some rooting now… can’t wait to try this. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for the tip. Just like you read my mind because I was wondering if I can plant that indoors.❤️
Coleus is one of my favourite ornamental plants! They will look compact when grown under bright sun. ♥️
I did not know we could keep them indoors! So happy to have found that out! Will definitely give it a go, I love them! :) Thank you Pam!
You’re welcome!! Happy to spread the coleus love. 🥰Thanks for watching Melissa!!
I'm super happy that I stumbled upon your channel! Thank you so much for the clear and concise information. I subbed your channel and I will be back often. Happy New Year! My plants love you!
Rhonnie! Thank you so much! Welcome 🥰
Thank you for this video! I just recently got into Coleus (I bought my first like a year ago, did nothing to contain it because I didn't know so it got incredibly leggy and ugly and so I started googling and RUclips) - and I love your style! I have proceeded to watch a lot of your videos on indoor plants! Thank you again ☺️
I just love your sense of humor. I feel the same way about croton plants.
F*ck those things!
Hi Pam, thank you so much for this video its very informational. I now know how to keep my beautiful outdoor coleus going thru winter. My sister will be so happy because I will finally be able to share it with her.
You’re welcome Veronica!! Let me know how it works out for you!
Coleus are my favorIt’s plants!!! Love them indoors too!!! Great video!!!! 👍🏼🌱
They're awesome!! Thanks for watching!
Man am I glad I clicked on this! Great information. I desperately need to cut my inferno coleus back. I have no idea what I'm doing with my houseplants so I'll definitely be subscribing! Lol. 😊
I picked up an indoor coleus plant but at the time it didn’t have a name. I went to research about it and found your video. Thank you ever so much for the wonderful information and now I can’t wait to put that information to good use. Wish me luck!
Great video, very helpful I hope. I have yet to successfully overwinter a coleus but will try again this fall thanks to this:)
Coleus is my favourite but I too have always only grown it outdoors, I have about 6 varieties growing right now but have decided to propagate them to grow indoors as I am in zone 3 with long, harsh winters. Glad I found your channel :)
Thanks for a very informative video, I’m a subscriber now. I have 5 different varieties of Coleus indoor and I thought I was cool enough to get them grow so tall to show off to my friends until I watched the entirety of this video. Now I know I prefer the shorter and bushy look.
Thanks Pam. I never brought my coleus plants in from the outside during the winter months and just started over every spring with a new breed of plants. I am so inspired by your video. My plants are HUGE. So.....come on inside my beauties!!!!
Good luck!! Some of them take the change harder than others but I’ve found they’re quite resilient once that environment shock passes.
Thank you for the down-to-Earth plant care tips and your humor. I've become a subscriber. :)
Hello! Welcome! Thank you so much 🥰
Such great info I got some cuttings and left them all long so now I will cut them all much shorter thanks to your information
Soooo happy to see this video. My very first houseplant was a coleus. I get it up a homemade trellis to four by five feet and lost it during a winter move. I am currently rebuilding my coleus collection they are awesome plants inside and out and your care tips are spot on!
Omg now I have to try and trellis one because you’re not the first person to say that! That sucks you lost it but that just means you get more! 😍 thanks for watching!
Love your video. I'm just starting coleus indoors and it's going well.
Just received this plant for Christmas from my sister in law...she said its the fastest growing plant she ever owned.
They can grow to be giant bushes!
I came to this channel to learn more about coleus cuttings. I purchased some for outdoor & they are huge & beautiful. I noticed the same thing about their colors based on how much sun they get. Surprisedly they can handle deep shade as well. Appreciate this video. TY!
Brilliant - glad I watched this one. Now I know what to do with the Coleus I just brought in. Thanks.
Thank you so much for your wisdom about call your flowers
Thank you so much! I have coleus for a while but I didn't know how much water it likes, the roots really tells a lot!
You’re welcome Franz! Thanks for always being such a ray of sunshine in my comments! 💚
I love Coleus💕 I am going to start a new kind today and hopefully it will survive the winter indoors this year..my cuttings few years ago gave up😥 thank you for sharing yours🎶
Thanks for a very informative video, and for suggesting we watch On the Ledge Podcast #62 ( which I will be doing next). I enjoyed watching, learning, and hopefully keeping my coleus growing.
Thanks for watching! So glad it was helpful!
Hi Pam! So interesting to learn these can be indoor plants. I always add them to my outdoor pots and towards the end of summer the bottom leaves are gone with a few at the top so I would throw them out.😬 next year I am gonna bring them in! Thank u so much for this video! Have an amazing day!🧡🧡
Yeah! Snip those tips right off! No plants left behind!
Jesus !!!!!!....very instructive video......AMAZING !!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank You for sharing with us .
Ah! I’m so glad you found it helpful! I couldn’t find much info on indoor coleus so f it I’ll make it myself 😂💚
Thank you this was very very helpful and this is my 1st year overwintering collius it is nice to know that II had good instincts and was doing mostly what you were doing anyway . thank you
I love when that happens!
Thanks so much for your tips. I had a few cuttings from a friend. They are now beautiful full potted. I was actually kinda scared to cut them. But with your info, I'll go ahead and cut them back 👍🏽
They are so beautiful and lately ive been going a Lil propagation crazy. It does hurt me when I cut them too even though its good for the plant....and those othellos, I need some!!!!! Awesome video, very informative and you are very down to earth, funny and relateable.
I have a beautiful green and one red coleus outside. I’m going to take some cutting and bring it inside for some winter color. Thank you for this information
I am just getting into this type of plant - I feel an obsession growing
Just bought a "Mainstreet La Rambla" Beautiful foliage and I will be keeping it indoors. Thanks so much I subscribed. Sara
Thank you for this video. Educational and you have a great sense of humor too. Now I have the courage to trim my beautiful crazy looking Coleus and get another plant started! ❤
Yes! You can do it! Thanks for the nice compliments 🥰
That 'Othello' is absolutely gorgeous! I think it would look amazing mixed in with my 'Kong Rose'.
I started a bunch from seed!! My first year growing them from seed! I got some really cool colors!!!
Wow I never knew you could grow coleus indoors, I'm in Barbados and have only 16 varieties. Nice video
i love coleus and u gave me confident to over winter instead of buying every summer.Thanks
My absolute pleasure! Good luck with your overwintering!
Just subbed, loved your laymen explanations, I need that & plenty of visuals. Just started growing plants again & forgot how much I missed them!🌻✌🔥
Hi Gina, welcome! I’m so happy to hear this was helpful, thank you for the feedback! Plants really have a way of sucking you back in once you touch them a few times 😂
This is just the information I needed! Thank you!
Love your videos and you are so cool and laid back.. videos are informative and so easy to follow... thanks
Aw thank you so much!! Very glad to hear they’re easy to follow because I feel like I’m all over the place 😂
I just brought some and watched your video to take care of they will be indoor plants for the most part. Fingers crossed
I have a beautiful coleus outside that I want to bring indoor... thanks for the tips!
Good luck!! Thanks for watching, Valentina!
It never occurred to me to keep them as houseplants, but this year I'm definitely going to try! That is on my agenda for tonight because we are supposed to freeze in the next couple of days. Thanks for the great vid and care tips.
Tracy Dycer you’re welcome and thanks for watching!! I hope you’ll let me know how you make out! 💚
Thank you for this information !love the Coleus! There so beautiful with so many different colors!
Thanks for watching Diane! I’m so glad you enjoyed it.
Love the coleus. We had so much of a variety outdoor but im going to start planting from seeds this week. Getting inspired and loved your video didnt know any of the information before today
Hi , I watched three other videos before yours and I like it the best ! Really good information,I love this plant . Thank you
So nice of you! Thank you!
Absolutely! I am excited
thank you! have just brought in my gorgeous multi colour coleus - Fall is here - have near my sliders that get southern and western exposure.
Mid-summer one of my neighbor's heard I was a house plant person, brought me a huge coleus plant. As I love to try rooting cuttings from various plants, I am so happy at how many cuttings I am putting into potting soil. Look out neighbors here they come, and thank you Pam for your video.
Yay! I hope they grow strong for you 🥰
So glad I found this channel! I bought a coleus to keep inside, thinking it was an annual and that I would lose it this fall, but no! This is excellent news!
It’s a whole new wooooorld
I just did some cuttings on my coleus this is my first one for the year I love them I shared with my neighbor because it was so big I brought some men and put them in a glass container for the winter
Just finished today my plant propagation and gardening course today! 😄 I learned so much really and was offered a bunch of free plants! I also got a Angel wing begonia cutting from my grandmother that I put in water to try to propagate! 😁
Yay! I’m so glad to hear! Free plants are the best plants!!
I was so worried about my coleus but now I’m less worried and happy to have these tips so my very very tall coleus can look bushier 😅
Thank you for this valuable information ! Love the Coleus! So colorful! I keep some water in o ok an fir Humidity! Similar care like a fern!
Thank you for sharing those tips, i recently got two of those plants and am really looking forward to reproduce them and share them with my little sister😍😍😍, greetings from HOUSTON
Yay! I wish you the best of luck!
Coleus is such a forgiving plant and it is very pretty.
I have one with miniature leaves in my window box.
The information you've just given is like no other, I didn't know that you can plant them indoors and thats what I'm doing tomorrow.
I just love those mini-leaved ones
Thank you SOOOOO much! I got my Coleus as a gift and she's been suffering very badly! My husband named her Diana (Princess) bc he hopes I can get her to live! Can't wait to watch more of your Coleus suggestions!
Lol @ the name! Good luck!!
I have bought my first mixed seed pack...excited to get started..so glad l saw your video as most videos only show outdoor
Greetings from Abu dhabi
Oh good luck with your seeds!! :)
Thanks for this great video! You answered so many questions I had. Last year was the first time I had a coleus outside. Before our first freeze I dug it up and moved it inside and it's been doing so well. I hope to move it back outside late next spring after breakup.
So glad I could be helpful! They’re easy plants once you understand them, I’m happy to hear you’re having success! Good luck with the transition back outside!
New to Colius. This was a perfect video:)
Thanks for this! I have one red coleus thriving! Im in love with the burgundy colors. This color works best with our home decor outdoors and indoors! Love love love. Very easy to care for too. Im propagating in beautiful glass vases for indoor winter decor, but plan to propagate like you did in one pot soon! Again, thank you!
loving your videos, personality, and nails
Garden season 2020 took those nails away 😭 thank you Shauna!!
i picked up a basic coleus at lowes because my grandma and i thought it was pretty😜 now i have to figure out how to take care of it!
I've got it outdoors and gonna bring them indoors, already started cutting them to root but find some of them slime up so I'll be putting smaller cuts into soil!! Thanks!!
I had coleus last year and I let it die for the winter cause I didn’t know that it can survive indoors too. Now I know what to do. Thanks for your informative video.
Coelous , awesome flower...like it....
