Coleus: Reminder to keep coleus pinched, 1 by revclaus

I've encountered a difficult situation. DH died about two months ago, and I'm having to move to a much smaller place with NO space for gardening. I might be able to have a container or two outside my door, but the coleus are having to come inside because the exposure is southern. I've always had shade or dappled shade before. SO...I've taken clippings of some of my faves from this summer and put them on my plant stand which will go in my bedroom. Pinching is mandatory here! I'll pot them up and try to keep them going forever. When I was growing up my mother had a corner sink in the kitchen with windows and a planter built into the counter space behind the sink. She had it loaded with coleus. She never had them outside, and they did fabulously well. I don't see why I can't do that too.

Here's a photo of the plant stand. I think I'd get rid of the Christmas cactus and maybe one of the two hoy and load it up with more coleus.
