I've found with cuttings, that regular potting soil is too heavy and they will sometimes rot. I use seedling soil now and most of them do well. It's Pro Mix BX. I have a slow fan on them all the time. Maybe I could cut that down to just when the lights are on. This picture is 'beefsteak plant'. It's growing in the conservatory at Longwood Gardens. I meant to post picture of 'dark star' but posted this one instead. I don't think it's a coleus.
