COLEUS: How to Grow Indoors, Propagate, and Overwinter

[@cathylocklin3215]

My grandmother always had Coleus in the house.❤ Now I know what to do. Thank you

[@plantvibrations]

Awesome! Keep the tradition going :)

[@SuperManning11]

So did my grandmother! I have a section of my garden dedicated to the flowers she used to grow, namely coleus, snapdragons, hollyhocks, pansies and nicotiana. I’ve heard that my great-grandmother had similar plants in her garden. And as Devin says, it’s great to keep the tradition going! Sadly, the tradition ends with me as there are no budding gardeners coming up after me.

[@LibraryAce]

​@@SuperManning11You could share your plant love with your friends' kids if you don't have nieces or nephews. They will remember the cool adult who showed them so many pretty things and taught them so much, even if they don't always seem to appreciate it right away.

[@SuperManning11]

@@LibraryAce that’s a great point, and reminds me I need to cultivate better relationships with my friends and neighbors who have kids to have them bring the kids here. I am retired, I live in the desert, and am frugal with most things except water, so my garden is very lush, even opulent, with so much growing and blooming all year long. It’s also a very kid and dog friendly space in that I’m not fussy about what gets trampled or broken, it always grows back! Plus I have a turtle, a pet mourning dove, and lots and lots of hummingbirds year round, but who build nests every spring that are fascinating to watch. In short, there’s always something interesting happening around here that I love to share. And speaking of sharing, I love to propagate my plants, so no one goes home empty handed as I have many, many plants that’s I love to send home with anyone who’s interested. Thanks! I’ve never really thought this through before, but I need to have more kids come by! I appreciate you saying this!

[@carolrousseau3629]

Had my coleus for years! Constantly give it hair cuts and make wonderful gifts for people, easy!

[@plantvibrations]

Yesss! Love it

[@ericrichard5271]

I discovered Coleus last summer....my new favorite plant...so much color!

[@plantvibrations]

It's so good!

[@scpatl4now]

I over winter Coleus every winter. I stick them in a jar with a narrow opening, water, and cover it with plastic wrap and a rubber band to hold it on. Then I make a hole for every stem going in. This keeps the water level from going down too quickly and keeps the water warmer in the sun. I literally have left them in water all winter long (because I was being lazy) just topping off when needed. I plant them outside and they are beautiful. One thing he didn't mention that is really important is when you have them outside you have to keep pinching them back. You do NOT want to let them flower. Once they do that...they're done. Always pinch off a stem to root that is not flowering.

[@plantvibrations]

Thanks for adding your experience !

[@valerieward7995]

Yay! Now I know how to keep my Coleus plant and stop wasting money throwing summer plants away. Thank you.

[@plantvibrations]

[@cass77788]

thank you for putting the cutting direct in soil I have been doing this for years, it works great you don't have to go to all the trouble to put them in water...

[@plantvibrations]

Glad to hear!!

[@giardinodialberi8751]

Great video, Devin. SECRET #1: I find a robust rooting system can develop in water; a key is to use the brown glass vitamin bottles - they exclude the light and they're the ideal height for a 4" cutting. And I agree with you that coleus overwintered indoors can look melancholy . . . UNLESS. . . . Unless you try SECRET #2: In mid-August, while light levels will guarantee a rapid recovery, cut your more beloved coleus back to 6" height. The plant will develop a smaller new structure to make it quite presentable over the winter, and to provide a new scaffold for next year's growth.

[@plantvibrations]

Oooooh awesome secrets!! Thanks for sharing!

[@mr.blackhawk142]

Thanx Dino! Great tip, to use COLOURED bottles or jars! I just bought a small coleus SILK plant! I got it bc I like the different colours in it. Now, I'm going to get some REAL coleus plants and start propagating them ASAP! Plants give off a HEALTHY LIFE-FORCE, and produce oxygen of course!

I had a giant coleus and in the fall it became bare, as all the leaves fell off as the days became shorter and cooler. Being the procrastinator that I tend to be, I never took much care of it and the winter was pretty mild. So the next spring all I had was a plant of big branches! I was about to throw it into the plant trash bag, when I noticed a couple tiny leaves on a few branches. Then I realized my coleus was not an annual, as I had believed! Wow! My plant came back enormous and as tall as me! Now I have several coleus and hate that they will soon begin to go back to sleep for the winter days ahead! Keep trekking...into the mystic. kristi

Great video! I'm nuts about Coleus plants and collect them. In the warmer months here in Northern California, Zone 9b, I keep them on my sunny porch for a great display. Found out the hard way that I need to move them inside during the colder months. Without knowing, I actually followed your advice, took cuttings in anticipation of colder weather, and have a bunch of my favorites in small pots, and they look so strong and vibrant. I also keep a bunch in little water wases I buy at the dollar store. I add a TINY amount of Miracle Grow, once in a while, and they actually look spectacular. The important thing is to keep changing that water ever so often, not just add more water whenever it gets used up. Oh, and that yellow/green variety with the white veins in the leaves is actually my favorite; it is a prolific grower. Did you ever try to grow into a small tree? It looks like it could get quite tall. Again, good video and I subscribed.

[@janellehoney-badger6525]

I was worried about roots breaking when propagating in water so I have a lot of moss in the shaded lawn. I picked & washed the moss then filled a yogurt cup with water & moss then added the Coleus cuttings. It worked amazingly well. Then I emptied the water & placed the cutting with moss, into a pot of soil. It started to take off until a bird snapped it. I put it in a safer position where the snapped end made contact with the soil & it’s growing again! I have to buy more varieties, they’re so nice looking. Your video was more helpful, though.

Nice video, a few questions: 1. No heating pad for the one’s propagated in water to ensure they actually root in the soil? 2. How long as in days/ weeks do you use 24/7 heating pad for ones propped directly in soil. 3. Would love to see coleus grown from seeds. 4. Please show a close up of the nice vertical shelving unit to the right of window. Where did you get it? I’m designing space/ with pulleys so I can safely hang my indoor coleus from the ceiling to keep away from my cats. Thank you!

[@plantvibrations]

I'm not sure what the first question is. I keep the heating pad on 24/7 for as long as it takes for them to get rooted. all plants vary, but coleus will root out within a month. great topic, i should show the shelving unit more closely

So much great information, thank you! Somehow I’d overlooked coleus all my life until last year, but I just love them now, such pretty colors. I overwintered a big plant and it’s exactly as you say, it looked a bit sad and the main stems became weakened/got brittle. Cuttings next time! I’m in 🇨🇦 , think they do need a grow light through the winter at this latitude.

[@mr.blackhawk142]

@AlliGATOR! I'm also in Canada, so leaving any plants outside in winter is NOT an option of course! I have a grow room with HID lights for winter, and LED lights thru the warmer months. I grow mostly tomato plants, but I want more vegetation in my home in ALL my rooms. I have LED tube lights in most rooms already. Some are above the windows, and they are left on til about 8 PM,(on timers) so the plants get about 12 hours of light each day!

Hi Devin! My mom gave me a fairly well established Coleus in a 5” diameter pot last spring. I live in Zone7b. I’m pretty attached. I named her CoCo😊. She’s later bloomer-I.E she has a lot of Gorgeous flowers….💐 My mom said to cut them immediately but who listens to their mom. Again, IDK what I’m doing. I got the bright idea to cut the flowers after nothing in particular happens(or I notice the flower dying)and press them into the soil. There is a lot of new under growth at the bottom of the pot, and the 6 thicker stalks reaching for the sky with flowers on have some tiny leaves you mentioned, for propagating. Have I screwed up by allowing them to bloom? Should l try to repot the bottom? She pretty skinny-almost vine like(great for pics)compared to the big fluffy ones you have. I want some fluffy one’s like you do someday. Please help! My Mom is giving my mom is confusing me. 😊😊😊😊

[@plantvibrations]

when you let them go to flower, they start to put all their energy into flower production and often the foliage starts to become smaller or look less great. you can cut the entire plant back to a couple inches and let it start regrowing, this will create the bushiest plant

[@stratoleft]

Yes. Those too long stems cause problems not just for this beautiful plant. I notice on Marigolds and Periwinkle I do also, if the stem is too long on the young plant, it will completely bend and/or actually break from the top heavy weight. On Marigolds in that situation, I dig them up and dig the hole where they were, deeper. And then transplant them deeper in that spot or wherever.

Hi DEVIN My first year successfully growing coleus in the flower beds and only recently learned I could overwinter them! Thanks for the tutorial…my question is : What happens to the mother plant after taking cutting? Is it brought in too now that it’s smaller? Do you just enjoy them outside until the first frost kills them? I know winter is essential but I always resent how it destroys all the had work I’ve put into my flower beds. Once lovely then overnight a flaccid mess for the compost bin 😥 I assume coleus are the first to go.

[@plantvibrations]

Yes I understand your pain! Perhaps add some more perennials to your beds so that they just get better each year! but yes, i would just allow the mother plant to die back. there's no need to keep her as long as you saved a few cuttings!
