How to Care for Coleus in Winter 

Love Roseydawn. Great resource for Coleus.

❤❤❤❤

This is The Pond Liner Lady in Vancouver, WA! You guys are great and I have a fun idea for you and those watching. I raise Canna's and instead of just planting them as most people do, you included, did you know that a Canna can sit in the water in your pond? They love being submersed in bio pools and I could send you a picture if you like but not sure how to do it here. They want WATER big time!

Awesome video!!! Coleus is my favorite genus! Huge collection here too. We need more coleus videos!!! 😃😃😃🌱

Beautiful plants. How you have them displayed brings warm sunshine to cold days.

Came across your video because I now have my first Coleus plant. It was just growing carelessly in the yard, not sure why, but I saw it and didn't want to kill it with the weeds so I dug it up, brought it in the house, AND now I have to figure out how to care for it. Your video gave some good advice on how to do so. I now know which Coleus I have, the Wicked Witch, LOL! You also gave some good advice on getting rid of those pesty bugs...keep up the good work...thanks!

Thank you for all the tips to control fungus gnats.

Great job! So educational! Beautiful environment. Keep up the good work .💐👏🏽

i enjoyed your vidio very useful info. thanks again from charlotte nc

Just saw the "Gardening Gays" theme! Fantastic! My partner and I share a lovely greenhouse together, with our speciality being rare species and scented-leaf pelargoniums ("geraniums"). I've subscribed to your channel and we can enjoy watching your video tips together. 🤗 🌿

Really nice guys. Clearly explain how to care for these plants. Loved fish net stockings and electric lime

Good job 👍💖

Thanks from SC

Thank you !

Fabulous info! Just subscribed to your videos. This is my first time doing coleus cuttings. Great tip = water from base! ✅

Hardest plants to bring through the winter, but I'm going to keep trying!

I love coleus unfortunately I decided to plant them in the ground! I was away foe awhile only one left and hanging on for dear life 😢😢😢😢😊

Love Coleus!! Thanks for sharing all the Coleus care tips. I have trouble with mine getting leggy. Thanks for the tips and explanations for trimming. Just subscribed.

You have such a beautiful collection!! Thanks for sharing!!

I use neem oil. Perfect.

I have a Spiced Cury and it’s the one that grows the most last summer. Bought it small last Spring and at the end of September it was almost 24 x 24 inches. Full sun, loved it’s color green olive with orange tones on the new leaves. 💕

Great video and to the point .I like it .

Wow!! Thank you!! Very informative!! Clearly your collection is thriving because you know what you are doing. For my Critter Spray I use: 1 TBSP each: Peppermint, & tea tree, Castile soap (not dish soap) I use Dr Woods Castile soap. 1 TBSP Neem oil, 3 TBSP’s hydrogen peroxide (3%), 1/2 cup isopropyl (70% is fine), (buck.25 store) 4 cups distilled or reverse osmoses water. WORK AWESOME! Spray water on the leaves to blast any critters off. Then spray over and under leaves and the soil with the DIY CRITTER SPRAY. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse. Then repeat (if it’s the first time, if you have an infestation, or for new plants.) Be careful and test plants first. Especially thin leaves, they are sensitive. Spray under planter too and in the water tray. Bugs like to hide there. ESPECIALLY THRIP!! UGGHHH!! I have holes on the bottom of all my planters so that I can flush them out. All of my 70+ plants are in semi-hydroponic substrate, mostly PONS. For me this is easier to flush the plant. For my maintenance I just spray around the perimeter of the plant avoiding near roots or foliage. I also spray into the water in the bottom tray at least once a week, to deter critters. This spray is safe for humans and pets. I seriously irradiated my thrip infestation and have kept it under control. They are very hard to get rid of, especially if you have a ridiculous # of plants like we do. This works for all critters, even outdoors. I use it for ants on my balcony. For fungus gnats if you spray around the perimeter, like my maintenance treatment, that should work too. Happy plant growing!! 🪴💚🥗🍀🍀🍀🍀 BTW!!! I absolutely love Trinity!! I have always wanted an English Bull terrier!! She is an English Bull terrier right? I’ve mostly seen the white ones.

I just got a firecracker coleus from Walmart. It’s very unique.

Awesome video guys. Congratulations on your growth! LOVE coleus. Do you take cuttings and root them first or stick the directly in the ground?

Found your video today and perfect timing because I was looking at the coleus I rooted from the summer and it was looking sad. I will take some of your helpful tips. Thanks so much guys for all the information

wonderful information, thank you!

Love this video! 😃 I took sticks in my coleus since it started to hang. I have given it plenty of water and it seemed to help a little, but not enough. Should I cut the plant down instead?

Thank you very much i have a Heartbreaker i have brought inside for the first time will try all the care tips you guys suggested. I am using grow lamps indoors. If there are any other tips please let me know.

Hi, great channel. My coleus are several feet, outside. I love that look and they don't seem upset by spidermites. Can I ask how I overwinter these? Cuttings?

Well done.... Useful video title

What about spraying with Liquid Seven before bringing the plant inside? Are you just trying to keep it natural? This spray kills hundreds of insects and pests. Any opinion on this? Thank you.

So as long as they get enough light and care they won't die back inside over winter? Mine are all indoors from cuttings and I have them under grow lights. But I was told they would start to die or loose leaves until spring then grow back again.?? Can I transplant during winter indoors to bigger pots?

I love your videos and great job on your beautiful Coleus 🙂 I just planted seeds this summer and they are growing perfectly. It will be time for me to bring them inside as the temperature will be dropping soon. I did some cuttings and put them in water and noticed black spots on the leaves 😞do you know what can cause this to happen? They have roots now which is great, but the leaves are not. I appreciate your feedback. Also, where did you get your pots? I love the tip for watering from the bottom, I will definitely be trying this method as I have the worst gnat's issue and it's driving me crazy!!! I did put the Vinger in cups as you mentioned and will see how that works, fingers crossed.

AWESOME video! So educational & informative. Just ordered some Coleus plug plants. How many would you put in a pot with a size such as the ones you have. Thanks again

How do you manage gnats?
