".. 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 🤣

@PamsPrettyPlants 4 года назад

Hahaha same!! 😂

@jules-marcdavis6843 3 года назад

Try growing succulents...

Same one of my first.

I am a beginner and I love these are so easy and gorgeous LOL

@dizzylizzy7582 3 года назад

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!

@summerblanchard9765 Год назад

Could you say they’re similar to Purple Hearts as a easy forgiving plant?

@PamsPrettyPlants Год назад

I’ve never grown a Purple Heart so I’m afraid I’m not sure!

“I keep my humidity hoes in the bathroom”, so funny. :) The goth in me needs that Othello.

@PamsPrettyPlants 4 года назад

It’s so freaking cool! Mine kinda suffered after I got it for a while but it came back swinging!

@ejk872 4 года назад

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.

@liannaflemming4401 4 года назад

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” 😂😂

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!

@timothymesser9771 3 года назад

I thought I was the only one that grew coleus inside...cool 😎

@Diddydoos83 Год назад

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!

@PamsPrettyPlants Год назад

Hahaha that’s exactly how I got mine, just some cuttings I let sit a little too long! You got this!

@devennypeche8125 4 года назад

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 :)

@HSmith-rn7fq 9 месяцев назад

I have a gazillion in my small house so an obsessed. Thank you so much!

@sarahbarnes7648 3 года назад

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.

@kristiwaski8418 4 года назад

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.

@sunshiny_botany 4 года назад

Thanks for another great video! Can’t wait to try this beautiful colour indoors 😍

@HafezZahruddinGardenandKitchen 4 года назад

Coleus is one of my favourite ornamental plants! They will look compact when grown under bright sun. ♥️

@callyns8276 4 года назад

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.

@barbiedoll6071 2 года назад

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!!!!

@PamsPrettyPlants 2 года назад

Good luck!! Some of them take the change harder than others but I’ve found they’re quite resilient once that environment shock passes.

@mechelleyeager104 3 года назад

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😂😉

@tim4962 Год назад

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. 💛

@velerialangbehn6787 4 года назад

Love, love, love coleus, always have. I had Kong last year and took cuttings. It is huge! Great video. 👍

@irenemccann1666 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the tip. Just like you read my mind because I was wondering if I can plant that indoors.❤️

@catharina1905 4 года назад

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 RU-vid) - and I love your style! I have proceeded to watch a lot of your videos on indoor plants! Thank you again ☺️

@Woahitsaturtlegynecologist 2 года назад

That 'Othello' is absolutely gorgeous! I think it would look amazing mixed in with my 'Kong Rose'.

@SugaredElephant 3 года назад

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 :)

@lorifaulk7363 Год назад

Love your video. I'm just starting coleus indoors and it's going well.

@desertportal5517 3 года назад

Brilliant - glad I watched this one. Now I know what to do with the Coleus I just brought in. Thanks.

@lindasueplantsforyou263 4 года назад

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!

@PamsPrettyPlants 4 года назад

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!

@tanieshabrackett7295 4 года назад

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. 😊

@michelledemars5938 4 года назад

Great video, very helpful I hope. I have yet to successfully overwinter a coleus but will try again this fall thanks to this:)

@loisn4481 3 года назад

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🎶

You’re welcome Veronica!! Let me know how it works out for you!

@101candlelight6 4 года назад

Wow I never knew you could grow coleus indoors, I'm in Barbados and have only 16 varieties. Nice video

@TMarie7 4 года назад

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!🧡🧡

@PamsPrettyPlants 4 года назад

Yeah! Snip those tips right off! No plants left behind!

@claudiagellilarsson5851 Год назад

thank you! have just brought in my gorgeous multi colour coleus - Fall is here - have near my sliders that get southern and western exposure.

@giegie815 3 года назад

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.

@rhonnie7117 2 года назад

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!

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 👍🏽

@lucillegrant4695 3 года назад

I just brought some and watched your video to take care of they will be indoor plants for the most part. Fingers crossed

@heatherlockhart667 Год назад

@PamsPrettyPlants Год назад

I love when that happens!

@daniellegrows2498 Год назад

I started a bunch from seed!! My first year growing them from seed! I got some really cool colors!!!

@sammysworld5485 Год назад

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!

@denisezayas9310 6 месяцев назад

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! ❤

@PamsPrettyPlants 6 месяцев назад

Yes! You can do it! Thanks for the nice compliments 🥰

@YanSkates 3 года назад

I am just getting into this type of plant - I feel an obsession growing

@megankelly5747 3 года назад

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.

@Kris_BloomingPlants 4 года назад

I, too, remember when coleus were only houseplants. Upon being inspired by your video, I picked up a 1 quart plant for $2, cuttings galore, and a couple stems from outdoors when we had a frost warning.

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

@thambyahnaguleswaran2135 Год назад

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!

@txflores7239 2 года назад

Most definitely im going to try to grow. Thanks

@tracydycer7274 4 года назад

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.

@PamsPrettyPlants 4 года назад

Tracy Dycer you’re welcome and thanks for watching!! I hope you’ll let me know how you make out! 💚

@ParadoxJess 3 года назад

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!

@PamsPrettyPlants 3 года назад

It’s a whole new wooooorld

@flexibledreamer7846 4 года назад

O.M.G this is exactly what I needed. I was told by a plant nursery employee that I would not be able to have this plant indoors - *CLEARLY* she was wrong! I have several cuttings that have rooted nicely in water. I’m happy to report that after watching your video they are happily potted in soil. Ughh.. I hate when ppl give out incorrect information - I was literally going throw the rooted cuttings out. Thank you!! 🙏🏾

@PamsPrettyPlants 4 года назад

I mean maybe SHE can’t but we know better, don’t we? 😉 💚💚💚

@VivekTiwari03 Год назад

SAME! I've been sold a couple of Coleus by a nursery employee and she told me that they can be grown indoors.

@kendiamond85 3 года назад

Excellent communication skills

@dorothysmum2016 3 года назад

I'm glad I watched your vid. My coleus was not getting enough sun and it started to drop leaves then wasn't getting enough water and is dropping leaves... so now I've got basically a twig with 5 leaves. But I have moved it to a morning sun window and watered it, hopefully it will grow more new leaves..

@andrinazuma3647 Год назад

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.

@PamsPrettyPlants Год назад

I just love those mini-leaved ones

@murisanfamily Год назад

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

@ginamaxey9967 Год назад

Just subbed, loved your laymen explanations, I need that & plenty of visuals. Just started growing plants again & forgot how much I missed them!🌻✌🔥

@PamsPrettyPlants Год назад

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 😂

@grace9785 2 года назад

Thank you for the lesson. My coleus are living outdoors and I’ve just pinched them back. I want them to be full!

@privateperson5769 Год назад

I used to grow Coleus in my bedroom as a teen..then I went years not growing indoor plants at all, we just grew plants indoor without much fuss, plants seem to be more touchy these days . Now 30 odd years later I find Coleus are getting planted outside haha. Going to try and over winter some indoors this year if I can get it out of the garden b4 it frosts ☺

@carolynborjon8222 9 месяцев назад

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.

@PamsPrettyPlants 9 месяцев назад

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!

@korenmineo7724 3 года назад
