A good idea for potting plants, is to save your used dryer sheets to place in the bottom of the pot to keep the soil from leaking out. Also, when potting plants, I place about an inch or so of small stones on top of the dryer sheet to create good drainage. (You can purchase small bags of stones at the Dollar Tree that are perfect for this use.) Always use pots with drainage holes and place them on shallow saucers to collect the run-off water. Thank you Y Garden for your lovely and informative videos. kristi
Thank you for sharing!!! I have a Coleus that's like a cat: it has wilted and come back to life 9 times. But now I have time to give it the love it deserves so thank you for teaching with such clarity!
And btw...as beautiful as coleus truly are, all parts of them are toxic to pets. Maybe that is no problem for you and you have no pets, or the plants are outside and the pets are inside (like it is for me) I just thought I'd pass that information on to others. Happy growing Melissa! kristi
Really like the way you show close views and talk clearly and show the right way and the wrong way plan on planting lots of them around my lake thanks Arend
Coleus have so many marvelous color combinations. Now I want to get some for the summer garden, and root them during winter for some very good entertainment, and preparing for NEXT summer! Thanks for showing us how this is done, and how simple it is.
I brought a full grown gorgeous coleus into the house I had in a pot outside during the summer. I had so many knats I had to throw it out and dealt with the knats for months! I never want to go thru that again!
@@deniseschultz8993 -Hi. I have been taking cutting from my Coleus plants every few days to prorogate them. I too have one outside, but unless I bake the soil to kill any critters, I'll just cut and prorogate most of it to avoid bringing anything inside. Is that an option for you?? Hope this was helpful.
Yukia, your plant room looks amazing! I wish I had one like that! :) Thank you for making this video! This was the first year I was able to keep a coleus plant alive all winter and your tips couldn’t have come in a better time. I’m looking forward to propagating a lot of beautiful coleus pretty soon!
I just got my plant from my husband for my birthday June 26 I am so happy I can have it in the house thank you so much God bless you always have a beautiful day
We sowed a lot of coleus seeds but only a few germinated. We now have half a dozen coleus, five of which are quite boring but one has some lovely colourful leaves and now, thanks to you, we know how to get more of the nicer one. Thank you.
I bought a young Kong coleus earlier this year, and it LOVES it under my grown light. I just noticed today it’s starting to grow a flower! I’m planning to save the seeds , and grow babies over the winter ❤️
Thanks for inspiring me to do this. I saw your video from last year and this reminder/update is great. Love your bloopers - there's more work to creating them than people realize.
Thanks. - learned something new (didn’t know about the light needs). Sadly I had an infestation in my coleus cuttings room, so starting again now. Nice timing.
I love your room! Your house even has a winter happy place🤗 I will definitely do this with my colors this year! I also love your outtakes, your hilarious! Hugs virtually🤗
I'm into begonia. But coleus attracts my attention too! Just ordered 8 different coleus cuttings from Shopee. Thanks dear for your easy-to-understand instructions. God bless! ♥
That was a really helpful video! I wasn't sure where to take the cutting and took the all just above the leaf nodes! Now it makes more sense to take the below since that is where it will develop the roots. Thanks!
Here in Sweden, everyone cut above the node 😅 in that way you don't get an ugly stem sticking out (and dying) and you have some stem om the cutting to grow root without taking off any leaves 😁 you don't need the node to grow roots!
Even the extra leaves when put in water for a week or 10 days start the root. I took 2 cuts from my friend and it made 2 basic plants and some 7-8 plants from the trimmed lower leaves. It was just amazing to get 10 plants free of cost. Amazing Mother Nature.
OK your videos so cute because you have these giant coleus all over around you like your Insta kind of tropical jungle lol But many of the videos lack the types of soil like what’s in the exact mix when I go to the store to get soil there are so many different kinds now so I would love to see more of a blend or even the exhumed an image of what’s in the soil that you use that’s best thank you.
Hi Yulia. Thx for the vid. Question for you: I follow a gardening channel out of Canada. He propagates and sells roses. He uses a rooting hormone. Do you have any experience with that and if so, when should you use it and when is it unnecessary? Thanks! Oh, and also, how often (if at all) will you fertilizer the coleus?
Hi that's a great video. Thank you. My coleus cuttings always root successfully, but... as soon as I plant the cuttings in pots... they die. Can you tell me what's going on here?
Hi I got given a coleus cutting which is lovely but when I took it out of packaging one lovely leaf fell off. It has a good stalk on it and I was wondering if I could save/use/propagate in any way or should I just throw it away and concentrate on the really good cutting that I have?? Would love your input. Well done on such a great video xx
Hi from Long Island. I see this video is 4 years old and I hope you can answer my questions? Great video by the way. I bought a whole flat of coleus in the spring and they’re doing great. However, 1- is it too late to propagate them? 2- once they develop nice roots and I put them in small containers, what do I do when they start to grow? 3- Once fall comes can I have them for next year? 4- will the ones I planted this year come back next spring? Thanks.
3:39 from my experience, you can see impressive roots in a matter of days only. It's really amazing how strong those plants are. Real survivors!
It's almost 11pm as I watch this and have a sudden burst of energy to cut and propagate! Thank you, and the bloopers are wonderful!
Same! It’s 11:37 pm and I’m gonna propagate a bunch of plants
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that gets sudden late night energy and choose to spend it on things like propagating my plants, lol.
ADHD? Me too ❤
4 years ago already!
It's 1230am and I swear I thought the same thing 😮😊
I've never seen that green one with the purple stems and veining. It is beautiful!!!
Perfect video. The camera angle was perfect to show how and where to cut, and demonstrating the cuttings into water then into a pot is awesome

I like gathering a large bunch and make an arrangement out of them. I find them so pretty and I get them to grow at the same time.
That's what I'm doing now...... your coleus are gorgeous. It's amazing when you propagate in water you see the roots . Thank you

Thanks for the info! I just put my very 1st one in water in my kitchen window & wanted to see if I did it correctly. I did!
Really like the way you show close views and talk clearly and show the right way and the wrong way plan on planting lots of them around my lake thanks Arend
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this! I don't know why I was so nervous, but you've made everything seem simple and caring.

Wonderfully healthy looking coleus - Happy Easter
Just started mine about 2 weeks ago. I am in zone 5a.
I agree very easy to propagate. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge. Love your videos.
Great video. Thank you. Got one from my neighbour & its growing very quickly. Gorgeous plants 🙏🌍🌱
I brought a full grown gorgeous coleus into the house I had in a pot outside during the summer. I had so many knats I had to throw it out and dealt with the knats for months! I never want to go thru that again!
I’m nervous to bring mine in this winter 😭 any tips?

I’ve just fallen in love with these plants! Yours are just gorgeous!🥰
We sowed a lot of coleus seeds but only a few germinated.
We now have half a dozen coleus, five of which are quite boring but one has some lovely colourful leaves and now, thanks to you, we know how to get more of the nicer one.
Thank you.
Yay!
Thank you! I just had my 7 varieties of Coleus today and I can't wait to propagate them.
This video is so helpful. Our coleus is very stringy. It is definitely time to cut it back. This will be my first attempt at propagating. Exciting!
Thank you for this video will be propagating my plant tonight so excited for the results 🌿🌱
I bought a young Kong coleus earlier this year, and it LOVES it under my grown light. I just noticed today it’s starting to grow a flower! I’m planning to save the seeds , and grow babies over the winter ❤️
Always a big thumbs up to my favorite NJ Gardener. 💚
Yay. Love Coleus but I hate to buy it every year. Fun video. Tfs. Bloopers...hahahaha🤣😂🤣👏🏻
Thank you! This was very helpful and. your way of teaching is lovely.
Thanks for inspiring me to do this. I saw your video from last year and this reminder/update is great. Love your bloopers - there's more work to creating them than people realize.
I love the Coleus water prop cation is the best! The beautiful about the Coleus you can do the water method and have more & mix and match!
Thanks. - learned something new (didn’t know about the light needs). Sadly I had an infestation in my coleus cuttings room, so starting again now. Nice timing.
I love your room! Your house even has a winter happy place🤗
I will definitely do this with my colors this year! I also love your outtakes, your hilarious! Hugs virtually🤗
thank u i have these on my desk at work
This was such an informative video. Thank you for sharing. I am storing some over the winter and can’t wait to propagate in the spring!!
I'm into begonia. But coleus attracts my attention too! Just ordered 8 different coleus cuttings from Shopee. Thanks dear for your easy-to-understand instructions. God bless! ♥
Nice! Coleus has so many different colors
@@ydoyougarden Yes. Much more easy to care of & to propagate also. May I ask what kind of fertilizer do best on coleus? Much thanks! ♥
Good morning! Happy Easter..have a lovely day. Thank you again for another informative video!!🌷❤

😂 love the bloopers! Thanks for the tips.
Wow nice plants
Excellent video. I especially love the out takes @ the end.
Thank you for the video,simple easy instruction,love the outakes it happens to us all.
Thank you very much, liked the bloopers part too
Notification goes off and it’s for my one of my favorite plants! Woo!
Great information and presentation!! Going out to take my Fall cuttings now. :)
Even the extra leaves when put in water for a week or 10 days start the root. I took 2 cuts from my friend and it made 2 basic plants and some 7-8 plants from the trimmed lower leaves. It was just amazing to get 10 plants free of cost. Amazing Mother Nature.
I had a coleus leaf that rooted however i planted it and for months it never grew an actual plant. What did you do to grow it?
Wow just leaves in star grew a root!
Thanks 4 the good info.Greeting from Malaysia
such a great and informative video. thank you :) i just got my first coleus today
Thank you for sharing . This is super helpful.
Thank-you for sharing!
Will have to give this a try now. Thank you!
Awesome video, I have a Coleus just right for propagating right now! Off I go👩🌾
Great video. What variety of coleus are you potting at 5:00 (bright green leaves with dark purple stems, centers and leaf edges)?
Thank you for this video. I have learnt a lot!
Great video! Can you place the cuttings under grow lights?
Thanks very informative
Really helpful thank you. I LOVE that coleus with green leaves and black markings (at time stamp 5')..do you know the variety?
Look amazing your coleus❤
Love the Bloopers!
OK your videos so cute because you have these giant coleus all over around you like your Insta kind of tropical jungle lol

This is extremely helpful! Thank you 💞
Thank you so much for this. I have a couple of coleus I really want to try propagating. 😊

Thank you! Love the Coleus
Happy Easter , enjoyed this !
Youre my new best gardener friend !!! lol
Thank you so much for the advice… ❤
This was fantastic! Thank you so much!!!
Great video!
Nice video on this topic. Any thoughts on other plants you could propagate from cuttings and use water to develop roots?
Lots of plants! Purple Heart, African violets, ficus, polka dot, spider plant...
Hi that's a great video. Thank you.
My coleus cuttings always root successfully, but... as soon as I plant the cuttings in pots... they die. Can you tell me what's going on here?

Good info Mam. Thanks
I stick my coleus cuttings right in the soil with some vermiculite in the planting hole and have a lot of luck that way too.
great video. My dog just dumped over my coleus and all the branches broke off! AUGH. Time to get into propagation. Fun actually.
Ha!

You can propagate them anytime! You can overwinter them as a houseplant for the next year
Need to get some Coleus plants. Wish you were my neighbor😌. T.Y. 💛
Judith Johnson, I wish she was my neighbor too.
wonderful
I love the bloopers at the end 😅
Thank you! Also, the bloopers 😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed!
Love your bloopers!😆❤️
Thank you so much for this video❤… Godspeed
Where can I get the green one with purple on the edges? I live in California
I love your video just wished my daughter had did this with her coleus she may have to start over with a new one to get cuttings for this process 😩
Have you tried water propagating the leaves? I'm just a newbie in growing Coleus and I'm getting addicted to these colorful plants.
I like seeing your bloopers💚🙃
LOVE THIS! :)
excellent info thanks
Is there any issue with planting the cuttings directly into the ground after rooting them in water? We are in Zone 6 in Kansas.
What temperature do you consider too cold for coleus? ♥️your video❗️
60 F or 15 C
@ 4:25 is that the fishnet stocking coleus? thanks
My Coleus stems are bending while they sit in the water. It's harder for them to fit in the glass now. They've been in there about a week.
Will you have to replant in a bigger container eventually? How do you how big the plant will get?
So easy. Thank you.
