Easy Coleus Propagation

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Perfect timing, just got some cuttings of my coleus today. Thanks

Good substitute and I'll be doing this on my garden. We're getting storms nearly every day, just a few hours west of you.

Coleus to the rescue. Yes its so easy to propagate. Every year I plant some in my garden, and I take cutting to bring indoors for house plants. My mom wasn't a gardner but always had coleus plants. I plant them in memory of her.

Yes!!!! It’s a plant that breaks down barriers. It reminds me of my grandma!

You can root directly in the soil in the shade.. They will root quicker than in water.. I do it all the time.

Instead of coleus, why not do the same with sweet potatoes? Or is this in an area with high deer browse?

[@BrieThePlantLady]

Way too many deer now to grow sweet potatoes. Plus sweet potatoes would overrun everything else in the bed. This isn’t a big enough space for sweet potatoes.

Will coleus grow in shade of do they need some sun?

[@BrieThePlantLady]

Yes they will grow in shade, just not as robustly. They may need extra water in shade if there are a lot of roots competing for resources.
