Coleus do seem to grow well in humid conditions, but I do not know how picky they are about lower levels, or how low the levels would need to go to cause adverse reaction.

I never dig up root balls to save for winter, just cuttings. For example, the stem on the right in this pic:

They can be put in jars of water:

Or just stuck in pots with already growing plants, as seen in some of the pics from my last post. I usually stick the stems all the way to the bottom of the pot so they stay upright.

Then, in the spring, new cuttings can be stuck wherever new plants are wanted in the landscape:
