[@karenwitte6996]

I wish your video was a few days earlier. I took cutting from my coleus and I didn't do the two nodes! 😩 I have them in water and they are looking fine, so far! 🤞

[@greatgardensforall]

No worries! they will be fine!

[@jasminelouisefarrall]

Beautiful idea 💕

[@kathrynmettelka7216]

My mother always took cuttings from coleus. They look pretty inside during the winter, and then you have your favorites in the spring.

[@greatgardensforall]

Yes!

[@verenisenunez886]

That is so impressive.. ❤❤

[@roserizzo3094]

[@greatgardensforall]

Thank you!!

[@jenniferkessener1111]

Can you eat those seeds from amaranth? They are so pretty, your tree will be incredible. I took in my Caladiums in pots, they look pretty sad. I will try to store them. Cut some Coleus too, but I think my cuts were different, so maybe I should cut some more! Thanks.

[@greatgardensforall]

Yes, the whole plant is edible.

[@juliabinford6500]

Can’t wIt to see you decorate with the amaranth. Your Christmas decorations are so beautiful

[@karenh.7086]

Why are you vacuuming the seeds?

[@greatgardensforall]

I have plenty of seeds saved for next year 😊

[@anitahadley2871]

So glad to see your video pop up! I need to take my caladiums up as well. My coleus are still doing well and I’ve already taken cuttings a couple of time this year. I also use them as filler in a vase or just in vase on their own when I don’t have any nice blooms to add. Wondering if you need to remove the leaves for drying the amaranth. I do that when I dry hydrangeas.

[@sumathichennai3253]

interesting video இந்த நாள் இனிதாகட்டும்! 🙏

[@HarmonyHillsHomeandGarden]

Thanks for the info! I’ll be following your example exactly!

[@countrygalinthecity]

Amaranth is incredibly good for your health as well.

[@greatgardensforall]

Yes!

[@Pervydachny]

Hello! I can't imagine a garden without amaranth. This is one of my favorite colors. Thanks for the interesting video. Good luck to you👍🌻💙

[@cgilly1858]

When will you dig up the elephant ears behind you at the end of the video?

[@greatgardensforall]

Probably next week 😊

[@carmenbailey1560]

Love lies bleeding, Caladiums, and Coleus all favourites of mine. I only wish I had the space to over winter Coleus, but what I do in the early summer is take cuttings to increase my summer display. I love the deep red caladiums. Your Amaranth are huge compared to ones I’ve had, beautiful can’t wait to see your Christmas display with them.

[@willaerley7140]

I’ve been looking in the woods for a small maple sapling with orange leaves so I can transplant it behind my house. No luck, yet. I have a sea of yellow leaves in the backyard.

[@fabioleonhardt]

Amaranth lindos Sucar maple lindos. Aqui no tem 😕.. Coleus também sim. O sol queimar more afff

[@deechiodo6738]

Hello Yulia .... Ive been growing and drying amaranthus for over 20 years now. I just cut them, pull off the leaves and stand them in a huge vase or in nothing and let them dry in a corner of my room. One of my favorite flowers.

[@greatgardensforall]

Sounds great!

[@dianetucker2711]

Thank you ❣️

[@winkification]

Great video! What type of hand tool did you use to dig up the caladiums? Thank you for sharing!

[@lyndeer2173]

I store all my tubular’s in sand. It keeps them dry but cool. No rotting.

[@alicedent8864]

Can’t wait to see your Amaranth tree. Would make a stunning chandelier.

[@RevAcres01]

I started growing Amaranth after seeing your video a year ago. Never thought of drying them I'll give that a try. Can't wait to see how you incorporate into Christmas decor. Thanks

[@itsmewende]

I had 5 days of every type of rain, sprinkle to downpour, beautiful sunny day at the end. I'm not sure what is more amazing, the size of that amaranth or the size of the seeds, nature is just mind blowing. I'd be interested in how you store your dahilas, if you've try several ways.

[@trishharrington9083]

Won't they drop seeds everywhere?

[@rquel822]

Do you ship to SoCal

[@rosemaryortega9879]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! :-)

[@rogerthat117]

Woke up to frost on the windshield this morning 😧

[@mzomg7671]

Where are you?

[@greatgardensforall]

whoa

[@emkn1479]

So cool! I tried and failed to grow this, but will try again with the rest of the seeds next year because I want these so bad!

[@greatgardensforall]

They are so worth growing!

[@martinichip8969]

I’ve read that the seeds and leaves of amaranthus are edible. The seeds cook like quinoa and the leaves are like spinach.😃

[@greatgardensforall]

Yes, the plant is edible and really nutricious

[@lcioccalciocca1713]

I'm just north if you in Southeast NY...my caladiums flopped over after a few nights of 40 ish degrees so I dug the corms up and am also drying them in a box...i also take cuttings of coleus a d have many of the same for years..always love your videos..learn so much! Thanks!

[@grisespino5342]

Great Video. Those amaranth are striking!

[@lisamorris4232]

In the past, I let my caladiums dry out in their pots and left them in the pots in the basement for the winter. They usually come back in the spring. What do you think of this method and have you tried it with success?

[@greatgardensforall]

Yes, that works too 😊😊

[@BarbsintheGarden]

I'm wondering if this method would work for pot grown elephant ear?? Let 1st frost take it. Cut off leaves, bring in and let it dry out? I saw your video but just am not sure I want to take it out of it's pot for storage.

[@stk.plantation2912]

amazing salut🙏
