Indoor Coleus - Care, Pruning, & Overwintering

[@flopipop5376]

Coleus were my first plants : they are so beautiful and so forgiving they made me believe I was a plant specialist 🤣

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Hahaha same!! 😂

[@jules-marcdavis6843]

Try growing succulents...

[@leajohnson8441]

Same one of my first.

[@FitOutsideTheBox]

I am a beginner and I love these are so easy and gorgeous LOL

[@RinRedFeather]

".. I'm used to having a poor-man's everything.." lol I feel that.

[@ThePlantUtopia]

“I keep my humidity hoes in the bathroom”, so funny. :) The goth in me needs that Othello.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

It’s so freaking cool! Mine kinda suffered after I got it for a while but it came back swinging!

[@dizzylizzy7582]

Coleus are so underrated as plants. They are so pretty. They are easy to propagate. They are easy-going, pretty happy plants. I love them! Thank you for the video Pam!

[@summerblanchard9765]

Could you say they’re similar to Purple Hearts as a easy forgiving plant?

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I’ve never grown a Purple Heart so I’m afraid I’m not sure!

[@liannaflemming4401]

Ok this is the first video of your that I’ve seen. You crack me up!!! I’ll be watching all of them now. “Humidity Hoes” 😂😂

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

They ain’t loyal!

[@juanitatalamantez4893]

1st Time! Loved it, I need to go out and buy a coleus plants NOW! Thank You Pam, see ya❣️

[@timothymesser9771]

I thought I was the only one that grew coleus inside...cool 😎

[@ejk872]

This has been one of the most concise and informative videos on coleus care I have come across. Thank you for showing us the difference between the coleus that gets full light vs. one that doesn't, examples like that are super beneficial.

[@tellwel3767]

Woman, listening to you for only two minutes and I like your spirit immediately . Now, I’m going to finish watching what you have to say. Suscribed😊👍

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Oh well thanks!! 🥰 welcome aboard the messy express!

[@devennypeche8125]

I am a new plant mom, and I bought my first coleus about 3 months ago and kept it outside on my east facing front porch. The lighting worked well and made the plant flourish, but it kept getting eaten each time it grew more beautifully. Then I saw one indoors in a video, and so I just brought her in this morning. She is now in a west facing window, and I have a feeling she's going to be even happier now. Thank you for such an informative video :)

[@callyns8276]

girl you could not have posted this at a more perfect time! I got my first coleus this summer and I was thinking, how the hell am I supposed to overwinter this? 😂 thank you for the tips. I didnt know they were prone to mildew. I'll have to keep an eye out.

[@kristiwaski8418]

I am going home and pinching the heck out of my coleous on my porch to bring it inside for the winter!!! Thanks for the tips.

[@againstthegraingolf301]

You had me at #humidityhoes 🤣🤣👍🏾 I NEEDED these tips! Thank you!!🙏🏾

[@jules-marcdavis6843]

😂🤣🤣😂 cheers

[@mechelleyeager104]

Poor man's plant SO true!! Loving these tips, the one about the amount of sun affecting the color should have been so obvious, but it was an "ah ha" moment for me. My issue with my coleus is I now have 6 of them around the house from one cutting, (and 7 outside in the yard) but I feel bad if I don't propagate when I trim them back! Help! I think I have a little problem😂😉

[@kaijohnson5275]

You’re literally too hilarious 😂😂I can’t stop laughing. Thanks for this video, I needed this info

[@sarahbarnes7648]

I always thought that was an outdoor plant, and then I started bringing them in and taking care of them in the house. They put color to the green plants.

[@karennorton6943]

A wealth of information. So many questions answered in one place. I have always loved Coleus and never realized there was so much to know.

[@barbiedoll6071]

Thanks Pam. I never brought my coleus plants in from the outside during the winter months and just started over every spring with a new breed of plants. I am so inspired by your video. My plants are HUGE. So.....come on inside my beauties!!!!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Good luck!! Some of them take the change harder than others but I’ve found they’re quite resilient once that environment shock passes.

[@flexibledreamer7846]

O.M.G this is exactly what I needed. I was told by a plant nursery employee that I would not be able to have this plant indoors - *CLEARLY* she was wrong! I have several cuttings that have rooted nicely in water. I’m happy to report that after watching your video they are happily potted in soil. Ughh.. I hate when ppl give out incorrect information - I was literally going throw the rooted cuttings out. Thank you!! 🙏🏾

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I mean maybe SHE can’t but we know better, don’t we? 😉 💚💚💚

[@VivekTiwari03]

SAME! I've been sold a couple of Coleus by a nursery employee and she told me that they can be grown indoors.

[@Diddydoos83]

I was gifted some cuttings by my partners barber a few months ago. The barber has a massive lush plant in his shop window and I was in awe! 😍 Did I know anything about it? No! Am I glad I’ve kept it in jar of water until now? Yes! I literally potted him up today as he is looking a bit worse for wear as are some of my other plants in the same room. It’s just turned spring in the UK and I’m hoping that with the correct lighting and your excellent tips I can get it thriving. Thank you so much!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Hahaha that’s exactly how I got mine, just some cuttings I let sit a little too long! You got this!

Coleus is one of my favourite ornamental plants! They will look compact when grown under bright sun. ♥️

[@tanieshabrackett7295]

Man am I glad I clicked on this! Great information. I desperately need to cut my inferno coleus back. I have no idea what I'm doing with my houseplants so I'll definitely be subscribing! Lol. 😊

[@cassified98]

I was so worried about my coleus but now I’m less worried and happy to have these tips so my very very tall coleus can look bushier 😅

[@SugaredElephant]

Coleus is my favourite but I too have always only grown it outdoors, I have about 6 varieties growing right now but have decided to propagate them to grow indoors as I am in zone 3 with long, harsh winters. Glad I found your channel :)

[@101candlelight6]

Wow I never knew you could grow coleus indoors, I'm in Barbados and have only 16 varieties. Nice video

[@louisefpgle4907]

I just did some cuttings on my coleus this is my first one for the year I love them I shared with my neighbor because it was so big I brought some men and put them in a glass container for the winter

[@NousSommesYeu]

I love your style ! And I adore Coleuses. Bravo from France !

[@ceciliabanting9668]

I had coleus last year and I let it die for the winter cause I didn’t know that it can survive indoors too. Now I know what to do. Thanks for your informative video.

I have a gazillion in my small house so an obsessed. Thank you so much!

[@dorothysmum2016]

I'm glad I watched your vid. My coleus was not getting enough sun and it started to drop leaves then wasn't getting enough water and is dropping leaves... so now I've got basically a twig with 5 leaves. But I have moved it to a morning sun window and watered it, hopefully it will grow more new leaves..

[@fireflyintheroom]

4k! Wow, your channel is on fire! Congrats! And your make up loos on fleek! Love it

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

It’s so crazy!!! It’s gonna happen to you too, Cover Girl! 💚💚

[@Kris_BloomingPlants]

I, too, remember when coleus were only houseplants. Upon being inspired by your video, I picked up a 1 quart plant for $2, cuttings galore, and a couple stems from outdoors when we had a frost warning.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Yesss #teamcoleus

[@privateperson5769]

I used to grow Coleus in my bedroom as a teen..then I went years not growing indoor plants at all, we just grew plants indoor without much fuss, plants seem to be more touchy these days . Now 30 odd years later I find Coleus are getting planted outside haha. Going to try and over winter some indoors this year if I can get it out of the garden b4 it frosts ☺

[@catherinedoherty2025]

Heat wave last two weeks. 107 outside, up to 90 inside. Coleus took a hit. Dropping leaves like crazy. Couldn’t take blanket layers off windows so too little light. Cut back a bit. Found a spot where theycan get 3 hrs of light in morning. Thankfully recovering. Good news is cuttings are rocking out so will have plenty of color in house for winter❤️ Thanks for great presentation!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

You are so welcome!

[@tim4962]

Hi - Today I purchased Coleus from Wal-Mart. This plant is a favor that I once enjoyed in my younger days, though I am not a dinosaur just yet. 😂 I have never had one in doors to survive, though I believe I can do it. I have indoor grow lights that I believe this will help. I actually could not believe that Wal-Mart was selling them because we have had some frost lately in Virginia, today being Oct/29/2022. love the color that they provide and not only that I love to watch things grow. Of course, I don't sit there staring for days that would be rude to the plant. 🙃 I like your video and your humor and so I thought I would pass some humor your way. Ok, at least I tried. Have a blessed day. 💛

[@stacey1234love]

I think I’m going to grow some outdoors this spring/summer in pots so that I can bring them in during the winter

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Try it! You got this!

[@t.morris4761]

Lol @ i went to school for writing not speaking🤣😂. I am with you on that! Coleus is way easier to pronounce for me too. Had no idea until your video that they could grow indoors.

[@TheYolk]

Okay I'm a minute and a half into the video and I'm already subscribed.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

😂 welcome!

[@nnioax]

I never owned plants, but I killed a few of my grandma's lol I thought I would never have any, unless it is a cactus or something immortal. But a few weeks ago, we went to a beautiful local botanical garden and ended up in a plant sale. There were hundreds of plants: flowers, bushes, succulents, dozens of types of cactuses, and many, many more. They were so cheap, our coffee was twice as expensive, and I live in a pretty "cheap" country. And there, I found a little red coleus. I was so amazed by how beautiful (and how cheap) it is, I immediately decided to buy it. So yeah, I am a proud coleus owner now. I have never had a plant as forgiving as this one. I once forgot to water it, and it was a very hot weekend, I thought it is on its verge of death. But it thrived even more after that. Signed myself off a "potential plant murderer" list. Planning to get more plants now!

[@ldbstudios6486]

Just received this plant for Christmas from my sister in law...she said its the fastest growing plant she ever owned.

Hi Fredrika!! I found the same thing when I went looking for videos on how to pinch mine! I think they’re going to catch on in the states soon. For now I’m ok with being Queen Coleus of Haus KZbin until everyone else catches up to us. 😂

Coleus was the first houseplant I was able to keep alive when I first got into houseplants, they're great! I've been collecting cuttings from around the city since the summer containers are turning over to fall designs- I'm amazed at all the variety. Great video :)

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Erin Fox i was walking through Beacon Hill the other day and was soooo tempted to pinch cuttings from every window box!! 😂

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Erin Fox I have a bunch of coleus also I had three mother plants I kept over the winter. And then I added three more plants from the nursery this year plus ones that I grew from seed that were interesting so I'm trying to save them also so I may have like around 10 or more coleus in for the winter. I have my own KZbin channel and I did a video on my coleus earlier this year and all my cuttings now I am going to do one and post about a hundred or so coleus plants I have now counting cuttings that I took from the mother plants and once I Grew From two packages of seeds. I was like the old lady who had so many children she didn't know what to do you know the one in the fairy tale that lived in the shoe. I have so many clothes so I don't know what to do. I was wondering if you might want to trade some cuttings if I have some you don't have and you have some I don't have. Do you have a KZbin channel

[@candipoox]

Lol! I just pinched a really cool variety from a landscaped area at a shopping center. I was so afraid I was going to get in trouble. Plant obsession probs!

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

@@candipoox I have done the same thing I was at a doctors appointment an hour and a half away from me one summer and I took a couple cuttings unfortunately I've lost all of my plants because of something that happened in my life but I've got my collection back of house plants orchids and coleus. Try growing some coleus from seed and Watch What Happens you want to keep the special ones alive. I even had one that I had three sets of leaves instead of two sets of leaves on that square stem and then alternating it had three sets of leaves I've been trying to keep the main stem alive but it's not working out. The sad part is when you cut the tip which I didn't realize the little branches that come out when you cut the growing tip only have the alternate two by two leaves. I've kept them alive hopefully for the winter and maybe next year I can get it to bloom and maybe it'll throw off some 3 leaves instead of two alternating. I should have let it go to see but I wasn't thinking when I pinched it. Coleus are so much fun and a completely different way than house plants

Thank you for all this good information. I planted my first coleus this summer outdoors as I had no idea I could have it indoors. I live in zone 9. My four coleus did fantastic at first but started dying in September. Here I thought I could have them year after year. Yes, I’m a newbie to anything gardening. 😂 I figured I could take some cuttings before all the plant stems turned black. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Now I have a couple pots full with cuttings and hopefully I can have them for years to come.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

That method has worked for me with the coleus I’ve had for 10 years! I’ve noticed some varieties (the more colorful ones) tend to die back faster if they’re left to flower than my hardy old red one. I lost most of mine over summer to thrips and neglect. 😭

[@leannsherman6723]

Thank you from Maryland for your help. My coleus is very long and leggy and I didn’t know what to do. I always thought that when you cut a piece off of a plant that you have to put it in water for it to grow roots. 🤔

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

That’s one way to grow roots but you can propagate in perlite, leca, moss, or moist soil. The soil method I do on here just comes down to keeping that soil from totally drying out. It’s a little more fussy than water but I find the very fine coleus water roots don’t transplant well- in already established pots especially (where you can’t always dig down as far as a fresh pot). As long as the nodes has moisture, they’ll grow roots!

Last night I listened to the podcast about plants. she has some very very interesting plants that she talks about! This goes to that #planty kindness project .... we never know how easy it is for us to the world a better place and one little thing that we don't think means anything has a great effect on someone else's life! And in your case it's a great kindness to me to have something to listen to when I can't sleep and yet it helps me fall asleep even if I don't stay asleep... It's still there to Listen to If I wake up again thank you again from the bottom of my heart! And God bless you and your son and all of your beautiful plants!

Oh this makes me so happy!! I struggle with sleep problems too, I get 4 hours a night if I’m lucky. You have my love!! When you listen to episode 100 listen for a familiar voice and you’ll find I understand that comfort entirely :) I’m going to share this with Jane, she will be so happy. 💚💚

[@kathleenmurphy2379]

Just to let you know I listen using the earbuds in my cell phone that way it becomes almost like a white noise. But I do listen and learn before I fall asleep and if I wake back up on her podcast it shuts my cellphone off witch helps the battery other KZbin channels keep the screen on. So if I wake up I just go back to where I think I fell asleep and listen to some more so I do get more than 4 hours of sleep because I'm retired I'm 70 years old right now so I don't have to get up at a certain time. When I was substitute teaching after retiring from teaching it was really tough only getting a few hours sleep and then going in to take care of someone's classroom. Tell her God bless her and her work with her podcast I have left her comments and click the like button or the thumbs up button.

@@PamsPrettyPlants I also wanted to tell you I have quite a coleus collection I made a coleus video earlier in the summer and showed all my coleus plants that I got from cuttings. I'm going to do an update on my coleus and I made a video on the unique coleus that grow from seed that is a tri Leaf coleus it has three rows of leaves at each juncture instead of just two. Unfortunately the side shoots that come out there are three of them for each set of leaves but they don't have that three characteristic and the plant broke so all I have are part of the parent plant in other words small branches of the main stem. I wonder if some seed company or plant company would like to have it maybe they can get the DNA or something from it it makes a bushier plant that's for sure

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

I just love those mini-leaved ones

[@jellydonutsrule]

I'm one of the people who only thought they were outdoor plants. Whenever I tried indoor growing, they would drop almost all of their leaves or get crispy leaves. So because I hated having them die off come late fall, which would always make me so sad, I kind of stopped growing them even outside. Maybe I'll give one a try inside and see how it goes. I do love them. They bring back memories of both my youth and my dad because they were one of my fathers favorites and he always had them growing. Thanks for sharing yours tips and for posting this video.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Aw I love plants that have memories attached like that. My nana was a big fan of hyacinth so I buy them every spring 💚 Your coleus might have had too much sun and too little water. That’s what my plant did when I baked it in the south window. Whoops!

My Colius look about the same size as they did when I took them out the propergator over a fortnight ago. They are so small. I was expecting them to grow the most vigorously. Think I might go pruning old leaves, might encourage a bit of movement. Thank you for posting this video. It was interesting for me to see the feelings you have for your indoor friends. 💛🙂👍

What I wouldn’t give to take a tour of my nana and moms 70s plant collections!

I have a few croton cuttings that are rooted in water and I am TERRIFFIED to upset them by potting them up in a container. I recently had to rescue a few coleus from my porch, that I over watered accidentally....I have those rooting in water so all will be well. Thank you for making a coleus video!

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

They probably just heard you think that and are already dead. 😂 Thanks for watching!!

[@terrellroederer]

@@PamsPrettyPlants , HAHA! probably! XD No problem!!

Coleus are my favorIt’s plants!!! Love them indoors too!!! Great video!!!! 👍🏼🌱

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

They're awesome!! Thanks for watching!

I am a new plant mama. 😊 I had a coleus outside and it was huge and I heard you should cut it back so I did and tossed the leaves in the woods beside my house. They rooted and now are growing in the woods!! 😮😅

LOL that is amazing

I took some cuttings near a trail I bike on, exactly like this red one you have, and put them in an aeroponic/dwc cloner that I built They started showing tons of 1cm roots on Day 4, and now on Day 12 they are almost 6 inches long and I can barely see the stems anymore! By far one of the easiest plants I've ever tried to root

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Yesss, I’ve always wanted a cloner for propping purposes! I always tell people they root like tomatoes!

[@suzannewarren1986]

This is just the information I needed! Thank you!

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

Long story short I got a coleus for my birthday & it brightens my days 🥰 I just took a cutting to see if I can root it. They remind me of my grandma she always had them in her yard. This is my first one 😊

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

Yay!! What an awesome gift! 😍 Thank for watching!! 💚

[@maxramsey7860]

Such great info I got some cuttings and left them all long so now I will cut them all much shorter thanks to your information

[@flyingskyward2153]

I'm not sure how I ended up at this video, but interesting subject. Very striking looking plants.

[@PamsPrettyPlants]

It makes me happy I was a part of your KZbin black hole tonight 😂💚

I picked up an indoor coleus plant but at the time it didn’t have a name. I went to research about it and found your video. Thank you ever so much for the wonderful information and now I can’t wait to put that information to good use. Wish me luck!
