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
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!!!
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
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.
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?
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.
Thank you for lovely video I am from London UK and first time I saw coleus seeds. I wanted to know how long it will take to get a matured plant from seedilings
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.
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!!!
Thank you so much I've been watching my Coleus mistaken set in Sun little too long it's changing color immediately moved to shade don't want to use my beautiful plant
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!!!!!!!!!
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.
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!
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
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.
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!!
Hey Brian....Yes I will have those Available most with a pink splash in center. I will start my Ebay listing in October....go to Ebay.... "JIMS COLEUS" and wait for the listing to go live on or about 1st week of October. www.ebay.com/itm/394440819723?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ksvvexuaqq2&sssrc=2524149&ssuid=ksvvexuaqq2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Great news Sir and thanks for the quick reply … a video idea is a video on the seeds you have on EBay. A videos showing the adult plants and how the seeds will look.I would like the red coleus plant seeds and most of all the colossal marble green and black please 🙏🏽 Lol. Keep up the good work you do for the Wounded Warriors 🙏🏽🌱🙏🏽
Hi Tina....If you want save my Ebay listing.... " JIMS COLEUS" around October I start to sell the seeds from most Coleus featured on my TH-cam channel videos.
Hello. Thank you for your kind words. Nice to meet you. I am very careful when watching videos on TH-cam. 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

😮 Well, now it won't hurt as much when you do the regular pinching 😊
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
A Very interesting Suggestion!!!
Nice to watch your plants and video

I saw pictures of coleus leaves rooting, those you trim and toss away, its not a good idea to root these?
Yes you absolutely can root them. I chose not to because I have enough of that variety.
