Even though I said this fall I won't have the house cluttered with Coleus cuttings I did it again :) Last week I took about 100 cuttings and they are growing nicely. Today I examined them with a magnifying glass and found a couple of teeny tiny mealy bugs :( I also noticed that a couple of leaves had a lacy design and decided to look closely and found a tiny caterpillar. Okay so those cuttings were all thrown out and now I am wondering what kind of caterpillar likes Coleus?

Check out all of your cuttings before and after bringing them indoors!
