My first Coleus. Since I got it (yesterday) I've noticed that there are many patterns and varieties.
I may go off the deep end here... trying to restrain but I feel many adoptions in the days to come.
Variety folks, variety! ๐Ÿคฃ #veriety #coleus #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy
Lol, they are so pretty. I accidentally overwatered my first. The ones I have now are doing great outside under my covered porch.

Thank you!
I see you are close, so our weather is much the same. Being my first I have a question. Do you bring yours in for the winter months? And do you put them under grow lights or close to a window?
Beautiful

This is actually my first year growing coleus, so I haven't gone through a full winter with them yet. I didn't get mine until a couple of months ago, and they're planted in the same pot as my Black Coral Elephant Ears. I do bring my elephant ears inside for the winter because our winters can be so unpredictable. One year we get snow in the South, and the next year it's mild. I usually keep them in my garage. I don't use grow lights right now while they're outside, but once I bring them in for the winter, they'll definitely be under a grow light. I'm planning to do the same with my coleus and see how they do.
@WormWarriorFarm ๐Ÿคญ So it begins!! ๐Ÿ˜„ Your coleus is beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ Just make sure to take deep breaths in between ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ and inspect all new plants thoroughly for pests/disease. Pests ๐ŸฆŸ can be the ultimate inspiration un-aliver ๐Ÿ˜
