This time of the year, I feel like a squirrel gathering her nuts for the winter. Something in the air just tells me it's time to start taking coleus cuttings. I like to take at least 3 of each that I want to grow again next year. This year I'm using 3 or 4 inch pots for most of them.
I've found they do best for me if I start them in pots outdoors and let them develop good root systems before taking them inside.
You'd think I have enough, but this morning I walked over to a neighbor's to take her some iris and came home with a big handful of her coleus cuttings. Have a few I haven't been able to name yet. Maybe one of you will recognize them.
I think this is probably Limon Blush.
This one looks like it would be easy to ID, but I looked through the database and also visited Rosy Dawn and can't seem to find it.
This one has just a few splashes of purple. Any ideas?
Here is a photo of my indoor set up last winter. I have more tender succulents this year, so am going to use a plant light on them and will have the whole 4 level stand plus another small stand for the coleus. The window faces southwest, so gets enough light even in the winter to keep them going.
