r/coleus

At what point do I begin separating them? I want to ensure as many as possible survive!! (Yes I have plans to give away a ton and use some as ground cover)

(Bonus pic of some of my plant collection as a thank you)

I have these grown from seeds & can’t find clear advice about what to do next.

Do they need to be up potted in stages or can they go into a final pot size now?

Will I need to untangle each plant/cull some or can I plant them together like this for something more full?

If a deeper pot is not recommended yet, could I use a wide shallow pot to keep them together?

Hello everybody! I tried propagating these 2 plants and was wondering if they're ready to be planted yet. I'm not sure because although it grew many roots they're very slim and appear weak.

Thanks in advance!

This is a little crowded bunch I threw in just to see what happened!

I found these beautiful coleus plants and absolutely love them!! I just learned about them a few days ago!

Questions

-Where to pinch leaves so they can grow bushy and not just upward?
- How far apart to plant in ground? I read they can get up to 10-18 inches wide. What’s the typical distance?

They will be planted in ground for a border look.

Thank you!

This is a coleus that I grew hydroponically and just transitioned to soil before I took the picture. I added hydroponic nutrients to the reservoir regularly about once every 10 days. I also have some coleus that I bought from a nursery in soil and it gets this weird tint also. They seem otherwise healthy, no rot, not dry. I’ve tried humidity and no humidity. They get a lot of light, these are under a grow light, my other one is in partial sun. Any knowledge you have on growing these beautiful plants is helpful. Please be kind though lol I’m trying. I will also add pictures of my other hydroponic coleus plants that I have not transitioned.

I ended up with lots of dark ones and the good thing is that they look different and not all the same, I was looking for some variety of dark ones!

Update on my new garage sale coleus I posted earlier! This was so nerve wracking but I’m hopeful that they will turn out great! There’s definitely one more I can cut off but I’m nervous 😅😅

Found this Coleus at a garage sale for $7! I feel like it has lots of potential but definitely needs some tlc! Any advice? Should I cut it down at all? How can I make it bushier? Thanks!!

The small orange coleus in the front is a propagation from the larger plant at the back. Prop got left in a window with sun most the day while the larger plant gets afternoon shade. The prop is gorgeous! I’m moving the big plant to get more light.

Seed grown under grow lights. Bright green are yellow dwarf, orange are sunset and the others are a “new variety” mix all from Ferri seeds.
