I needed some plant therapy to get my mind off things. I have so many plants and I’ve been neglecting them somewhat lately. I wanted a distraction and many of my babies really needed attention. I pruned and repotted about 12 plants. It was work but it was fun. I was particularly blown away by the growth on one of my Coleus plants, Dr. Pepper. I bought small pack of 2 inch starter plants back in April. I have already repotted Dr. Pepper 3 times since then. He just keeps getting huge!!! Today he went into a 10inch pot and he’s beautiful. I’m so proud. Check out the difference in size after only 3.5 months! 1st photo is first repot after I received him; second photo is from May repot and last photo is Dr. Pepper today! #greenthumb #happyplants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Coleus #FreshLeafFriday

Here is my balcony setup. I also have 2 inside by the patio door. And these smaller ones I started from seeds. First time I ever tried to grow my own.
I love Coleus plants. They are so easy to propagate and they grow so fast.
@LavishPipsqueek wow Heidi those are lovely and I’m impressed, you grew them from seeds! Quite the collection you have there!
@Shells_Garden thank you. I’m proud of myself that I was able to grow them myself. First attempt.
