Or start from new clippings from indoor plants for outdoor summer growth? You can do it either way. Or both! I've planted potted plant that overwintered and taken cuttings from them and put the cuttings out in the spring.

They really area perennial and will last as long as they don't get killed by a frost. Hi Dave: Since it's now May , I'm not sure you'll see this, but I came here after something very unexpected happened. For years now, I've taken fall cuttings and wintered over my coleus indoors as discussed above.

However, last summer, I'd taken and planted so many cuttings, that last fall, some were just 'let go' to winters effects. Now, I live in East Central Georgia, and while we don't have the most extreme winters here, and I know that coming from Wisconsin. I checked our weather history here, and we had 67 days at or below freezing, 44 of those in the 20's and one, down to 18 which was our Coldest Temp.

And I have Coleus growing like a perennial. And yes, it IS a Coleus. One that gets a little over 3 feet tall by the end of summer and is the bet colored Red that Everyone Passingby comments on all year long. But this 'Sprouting' and coming back is a brand new one for me… Rich Teasdale. Count yourself one lucky gardener! Coleus is a perennial in warm locations but not usually that far north. You may have it in a nice spot where it gets residual heat through the winter creating a microclimate.

It's also possible that you may have a more hardy variety. Do you know the variety name? Remember propagating these as a teenager so when the wind blew my father-in-laws plant off of the shelf outside and snapped off the roots i decided to search for a site to remind me of how i did it.

Does it matter where i put my cuttings in water to grow roots, can i keep it in light or dark? It's best to place them under a shaded area or where there's no direct sunlight coz they tend to wilt under scorching heat. Unless you live in a cooler region, I guess it's okay if under direct sunlight. I used to use an old aquarium with a few inches of potting soil to start my cuttings.

Once the cutting is planted in the soil. I watered them in and covered the top with plastic wrap. Ti's acted as a terrarium which self watered. Once the plants reaches almost to the top I would then transplant them into my flowerbeds. This year I am going to try using clear plastic storage containers the kind for food …I think it will work but not all that sure.

Skip to content. Well rooted coleus after a week to 10 days. They are definitely easy! Love these little plants. Wish I could do this but with cats in the house, a no go for me.

Skeeter, Listen to Frances! You could do these outside just as easily as inside. Sheila, No brainers sure are nice, I could use the help sometimes! Lola, Gardeners are always generous!

Cut a 2- to 3-inch section from the tip of a stem on a healthy, disease-free coleus plant. Make the cut just below a node, where leaves meet the stem. Dip the end of each cutting in a rooting hormone powder, if desired, to encourage more uniform rooting.

Insert each cutting into a prepared hole in the medium so that the lowest remaining leaves are just above the surface of the rooting medium. Gently press the medium around the cutting to firm it and hold the cutting securely in place. Mist the cuttings and medium to settle the medium in place around the cuttings. Mist the cuttings and medium as needed during the rooting process to maintain a moist, but not wet, medium. Cover the cuttings and medium with a plastic lid or enclose the container in a plastic bag, if possible, to help maintain a high level of humidity around the cuttings and minimize the need for misting.

Grow arrowhead plants from its corms in a pot of water , with some pebbles to allow the plant to root itself.

Arrowhead plants grow quickly, and will begin to vine, too, so if you intend to grow them for a long time, it's more advisable to grow it in soil. Aquatic plants are plants that have adapted to living in aquatic environments saltwater or freshwater. They are also referred to as hydrophytes or macrophytes.

To pinch back your coleus , simply cut or pinch off any stem at a point where two stems or two leaves are growing from it. Around midsummer, coleus should be pruned regardless of whether it will be allowed to flower. If it's not maintained, it could overgrow and branches can snap from their weight. It's always best to take cuttings early in the morning, when the parent plant is still turgid, i.

This guarantees the best chance of rooting. When you take cuttings , use a sharp knife to trim the stems just below a node or leaf joint. Coleus are very easy to grow from seed and it's fun to see the different colors of plants that will grow from one packet of seeds. If you plan to start them indoors, sow them 8 - 10 weeks before you want to plant outside.

Germination takes 10 - 12 days if kept at 72 degrees F. You can put the cutting into a glass of water to start it, or you can plant it directly in a pot of potting medium more on that below.

If you do use a potting medium, don't shake off the stem first. Just push the stalk firmly down into the soil. Any loose hormone will rub off into the soil, which is fine. Cut the two remaining leaves in half crosswise not lengthwise. If available, dip the end of the cutting in rooting hormone. While rooting hormone will increase the chances of successfully propagating hydrangeas , you can still propagate hydrangea shrubs without it. Now, stick the cutting into damp potting soil.

Hydrangeas and other shrubs will root from semi-ripe cuttings , taken in late-summer. These cuttings are of new growth, but they are woody at the base and soft at the tip. The woody base prevents the cuttings from rotting. Use secateurs to collect material and a knife to trim the cutting. When to take softwood cuttings Most softwood cuttings are taken in spring and early summer, from the tender new growth of the season.

If potted by mid-summer they will develop sufficient roots to survive the winter, otherwise pot up in the following spring. Can you root coleus in water?
