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

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

Awesome! Keep the tradition going :)

@SuperManning11 10 месяцев назад

So did my grandmother! I have a section of my garden dedicated to the flowers she used to grow, namely coleus, snapdragons, hollyhocks, pansies and nicotiana. I’ve heard that my great-grandmother had similar plants in her garden. And as Devin says, it’s great to keep the tradition going! Sadly, the tradition ends with me as there are no budding gardeners coming up after me.

@@SuperManning11You could share your plant love with your friends' kids if you don't have nieces or nephews. They will remember the cool adult who showed them so many pretty things and taught them so much, even if they don't always seem to appreciate it right away.

@SuperManning11 10 месяцев назад

@@LibraryAce that’s a great point, and reminds me I need to cultivate better relationships with my friends and neighbors who have kids to have them bring the kids here. I am retired, I live in the desert, and am frugal with most things except water, so my garden is very lush, even opulent, with so much growing and blooming all year long. It’s also a very kid and dog friendly space in that I’m not fussy about what gets trampled or broken, it always grows back! Plus I have a turtle, a pet mourning dove, and lots and lots of hummingbirds year round, but who build nests every spring that are fascinating to watch. In short, there’s always something interesting happening around here that I love to share. And speaking of sharing, I love to propagate my plants, so no one goes home empty handed as I have many, many plants that’s I love to send home with anyone who’s interested. Thanks! I’ve never really thought this through before, but I need to have more kids come by! I appreciate you saying this!

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.

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for adding your experience !

@giardinodialberi8751 Год назад

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.

Thanx Dino! Great tip, to use COLOURED bottles or jars! I just bought a small coleus SILK plant! I got it bc I like the different colours in it. Now, I'm going to get some REAL coleus plants and start propagating them ASAP! Plants give off a HEALTHY LIFE-FORCE, and produce oxygen of course!

@janellehoney-badger6525 6 месяцев назад

I was worried about roots breaking when propagating in water so I have a lot of moss in the shaded lawn. I picked & washed the moss then filled a yogurt cup with water & moss then added the Coleus cuttings. It worked amazingly well. Then I emptied the water & placed the cutting with moss, into a pot of soil. It started to take off until a bird snapped it. I put it in a safer position where the snapped end made contact with the soil & it’s growing again! I have to buy more varieties, they’re so nice looking. Your video was more helpful, though.

I had a giant coleus and in the fall it became bare, as all the leaves fell off as the days became shorter and cooler. Being the procrastinator that I tend to be, I never took much care of it and the winter was pretty mild. So the next spring all I had was a plant of big branches! I was about to throw it into the plant trash bag, when I noticed a couple tiny leaves on a few branches. Then I realized my coleus was not an annual, as I had believed! Wow! My plant came back enormous and as tall as me! Now I have several coleus and hate that they will soon begin to go back to sleep for the winter days ahead! Keep trekking...into the mystic. kristi

Great video! I'm nuts about Coleus plants and collect them. In the warmer months here in Northern California, Zone 9b, I keep them on my sunny porch for a great display. Found out the hard way that I need to move them inside during the colder months. Without knowing, I actually followed your advice, took cuttings in anticipation of colder weather, and have a bunch of my favorites in small pots, and they look so strong and vibrant. I also keep a bunch in little water wases I buy at the dollar store. I add a TINY amount of Miracle Grow, once in a while, and they actually look spectacular. The important thing is to keep changing that water ever so often, not just add more water whenever it gets used up. Oh, and that yellow/green variety with the white veins in the leaves is actually my favorite; it is a prolific grower. Did you ever try to grow into a small tree? It looks like it could get quite tall. Again, good video and I subscribed.

Yes. Those too long stems cause problems not just for this beautiful plant. I notice on Marigolds and Periwinkle I do also, if the stem is too long on the young plant, it will completely bend and/or actually break from the top heavy weight. On Marigolds in that situation, I dig them up and dig the hole where they were, deeper. And then transplant them deeper in that spot or wherever.

I was told that these plants are poisonous to cats even if they run against them. I have a beautiful one and would not have to get rid of it. Hope to hear from you soon and thank you for this video, didn’t realize there is so much more to do to it. Thank you for sharing!!

I’m not sure about the cats but these are lovely plants worth bringing indoors for sure!

An amazing video, thank you! When I cut my coleus the cutting seems to be fine but all the leaves on the main branch keep falling and drying, why?

@plantvibrations 9 месяцев назад

are they indoors? that can happen if they arent getting enough light inside

@fransak2723 9 месяцев назад

You mentioned that they like a lot of sun. Is that just for the new young plants? I’ve had great luck with them in the shade outside. Coleus comes in an amazingly wide range of sizes and colors,I can’t get enough of them. I always try to save some cuttings from year to year. I’ve learned a few tips here to increase my success rate. Thanks.

Lots of sun *indoors*, shade outside for sure

Hi DEVIN My first year successfully growing coleus in the flower beds and only recently learned I could overwinter them! Thanks for the tutorial…my question is : What happens to the mother plant after taking cutting? Is it brought in too now that it’s smaller? Do you just enjoy them outside until the first frost kills them? I know winter is essential but I always resent how it destroys all the had work I’ve put into my flower beds. Once lovely then overnight a flaccid mess for the compost bin 😥 I assume coleus are the first to go.

@plantvibrations 10 месяцев назад

Yes I understand your pain! Perhaps add some more perennials to your beds so that they just get better each year! but yes, i would just allow the mother plant to die back. there's no need to keep her as long as you saved a few cuttings!

Devin...I'd like to encourage you to do some thoughtful research on "Vincas" - which is prolly a Kissin Kusin to Coleuis....and therefore rite up your alley...In any event...thanks so much for what you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Robt

I take my coleus cuttings and put them in a terrarium or an aquarium and add a glass lid or your self sustaining. You can have a lot of cuttings in a 10 gallon aquarium. This year I am keeping the original pot to see how many years I can do this from the same plant.

I love that idea! Thanks for sharing

When you planted the water propagated coleuses, why didn’t you use the perlite with the standard potting soil? I enjoy your videos and I’m growing some coleuses to be potted outside and they are doing well. I’m in Northeastern Nevada in Zone 6a, before this year, I have never known coleuses as an outdoor plant. Growing up, we always had a coleus house plant, which was propagated many times.

did I not use a blend? Coleus will do great in standard potting mix. I don't think it's necessary to add perlite if you are going to grow them outside because they are heavy drinkers and the perlite will create too much drainage

Hello Devin, I love the video and is what i need to help me master Coleus propagating and growing this plant. Please comment on my 2 on going dilemmas. I will occasionally buy a full mature plant from Home Depot, I will eventually remove cuttings for propagating or over all cleanup. I find though that the new growth on the mother plant is very slow and with much smaller leaves . Also I have lost more Coleus to the attack of the green worm that just love to feast. Any advise you can offer me would be appreciated. Temps in my So Cal area range from 100 to 40 depending on the time of the year. Thank you

I don’t have any good recommendations regarding the worms. But what you notice with the new growth is normal, the first leaves start small and then the later ones get larger
