Which is Best For Coleus??? SUN OR SHADE??

[@ellemcclearly1800]

It would be really cool if you would conduct A/B testing, i.e. take 2 semi-identical coleus and put one in shade and one in part shade/sun

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

A Very interesting Suggestion!!!

[@SunitaRani0512]

Nice to watch your plants and video

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Lol, I had my trimming done for me! Our son came for a visit over the holiday weekend end brought his two large dogs. Within a minute of arrival, the dogs had knocked over one of my coleus pots (it broke) and whipped off another couple of the taller coleus with their tails! 😮 I saved some of the broken stems and am rooting them up to replant. Your videos taught me that coleus are forgiving! ~ Sandra

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

OH!!! 😱 I used to go thru a similar ordeal when my son was a preteen and had his friends over .....Slip & slide....Whiffleball, football....HAVOC and exactly ... Lots of Rooting broken Coleus stems!!!

[@bonniemccormack1361]

😮 Well, now it won't hurt as much when you do the regular pinching 😊

That was a super great video and information piece. Thanks Jim.

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Hi !! Thank you!! This makes me feel good!! Appreciate your watching!!! Great to hear from you again!

[@PatC.]

Reminder for beginners: Even if you keep coleus in shade... when you have a heat wave or windy weather, check them a few times per day because they will dry out faster under those conditions.

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Very True Thanks Pat. I apply this inside my Greenhouse with the Oscillating fan....On really Hot ( outside) days I keep the fan on a straight thru vent as opposed to Oscillating which increases the evaporation.....but still keep an eye out for insects seeking shelter under those nice big leaves!!!

[@lisadowd6147]

Love watching your channel for coleus tips. After seeing your coleus collection, I think the color I am looking for is the crimson gold. See you Thursday at the Farm Market.

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

EXCELLENT Lisa!!! I have them in different sized pots. If repotted into even larger pots they will Really take off...which goes for most Coleus.....

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Looking forward to meeting you. I may be set up a bit later than Noon.....perhaps 30 minutes.... but I will be there until 5pm unless Weather turns.

[@ethandx]

awesome video. I have a great variety I found at a big box store, Alabama Sunset, that looks beautiful in different settings. Ranges from a yellowish green in shade to a deep burgundy or marron in full on sun. I have 3 in different places and they each look unique

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Excellent!! I am acquainted with Alabama Sunset!!! Beauty!!!

Which is Best For Coleus??? SUN OR SHADE?? The visual feast between 25:50 and 27:21 of your titled video was magnificent. You take care to explain it patiently, with a good heart and in a beautiful language. I understand what a virtuous person you are. Especially the visual feast you presented between 26:12 and 27:21 of your video was truly magnificent. It was as if you were talking with the language of flowers. I hope you are trying to understand the wonderful virtues and hospitality of the Almighty Creator who offers us such magnificent flowers with hundreds of different patterns and colors. I think these may be the plans of a magnificently equipped mind, a magnificent consciousness and a magnificent architect. I won't ask if you have such subtle ideas in your mind. I believe you are accounting for this in your inner world. When a person talks, I can understand whether he cares about such things the most or not. I think it shouldn't be difficult to think that it was not created meaninglessly and in vain. I appreciate and congratulate you with all my heart. I sincerely wish you success in your work. It is possible to have consultations whenever you want. I send my greetings and respects, my dear friend. Ali Demir

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Hello again and your kindness is greatly appreciated!! Although Coleus are best suited for both Sun& Shade... there are Those which are labeled as Full Sun Tolerant. Like the Defiance or Fishnets....but not without consequences. Their colors or patterns are affected by the Extra Sun. And watering requirements and feeding are increased. So all are best suited for a mixture of sun & shade. The Creation of our World and All of its magnificence is quite an overwhelming intangible prospect...I believe We as humans are included in that and We pay homage to our deities to allow us to put the ENORMITY OF UNDERSTANDING it all into our own context.

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

And yes those Feasts of Color... did Well in full Sun...but I did move them to shady areas on very intense Sunny 🌞 days. All those you earmarked were very successful healthy plants the whole season!!

[@barbaramorgan9892]

Thanks for a great video! I planted some coleus seeds in pots and some of the leaves are totally green with not a trace of color. They are exposed to sun/shade at my east bay window. I mist them morning and night. They are still young, about 3" high. Will they eventually get some color?

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Thank you!!! I wouldn't Mist Coleus...they really don't like wet misted foliage....unless it's extremely dry where you keep them ...buy your better off regularly watering the soil every few days or when clearly needing it. Regular watering is best...not saturated...and Do not allow to dry out... But it sounds like your window is providibg great light!! As for the Color.... I planted a total of 450 Coleus...So far approx 12 are completely green. It happens....some people like the greenery to mix In pots. Yes they still may and many probably will eventually develop stems with the color pattern from which the variety they are supposed to be. I've had that happen.

[@kayturley1977]

Hi Jim. I trimmed my coleus yesterday and want to know if I should cut the very tall ones back shorter. It was 113 degrees in my yard yesterday and I moved all of them under a tree. The faded leaves from the sun I cut off.Now rather than bushes I have a skinny group of plants. I was hoping to keep the bush shape but I don't even know if it is an option now. Appreciate your show. I did not know all that stuff about the humble coleus. And Ive been growing them since they were only one color!!!!!!!!!

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Hi Kay...You are in a real Frying Pan Heatwave!!! How Tall you keep your Coleus is a personal preference. I'm the wild they want to grow taller & taller then reseed themselves.... Trimming your Coleus down to a manageable height creates a fuller more lush plant with more foliage and less legginess so it may handle the heat better.

[@kayturley1977]

Thanks for the comeback. It is terrible today. I ended up with heat exhaustion. But all my coleus are under the biggest tree We have.I’m thinking of just pinching them back an inch or so. I watered them last evening but boy were they dry this morning!

[@martinemorgan9713]

I love your coleus they are fluffy and nice which mines could be like this ❤

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

I promise if you watch a few of my videos and give it a try U can do it too!!! Thank you!! 😊

[@Jimswholiestofcoleus]

Hi Nanette ❤️!!

[@AliDemir-sq6qi]

Hello. Thank you for your kind words. Nice to meet you. I am very careful when watching videos on KZbin. I don't spare time for nonsense things that will waste my time. What am I doing and why am I doing it? I prefer to follow wise people like you who are aware of these. But I value people like you who put effort into great things and do not sit idle and try to produce great things and their words. You are the one who deserves the real compliment. I do chemical mineral analysis. I do the refining, production and recycling of noble metals. I have been working on kolyos type flowers for five years. I can produce two, three, four, five, six and seven colors on the same root kolyos. I can produce 24 different colors from 4 different colored kolyos flowers. Since I admire Allah, the skilful creator, I love those who value his works. I love people who do their jobs intelligently and lovingly, regardless of language, religion, color or race. That's why it's a pleasure and an honor to watch you. I send my greetings from Kütahya. I wish you success in your business. aLi dEmİr
