donnerville--

I took cuttings from all my Coleus last year. This would be a good time to do it--as the colder nights
are starting to damage them.
Strip most of the leaves off and leave only the tip ones. Cut the stems to about 2"+ ans put in fresh potting mix.

I use my unused seed growing set-up for the Coleus cuttings. Why not?
Last year they grew so well, that I had to pinch then back 2 more times.

This Spring--I never spent a penny on any of these Sun Coleus that usually run $3 each.

These ar from February of this year--the original cuttings growing away.
