Thinking of proping him. He’s missing so many of the top ...

@MockingJay thanks here’s the pot I put him in. After clipping it heard that I have let it scale over. How long is that an hour a day or a week.
@FitBrowallia I have just put my cuttings directly in a glass of water, or even directly in a pot of soil 😅 Makes it hard to discard them as everything will make a new plant🫣 But I guess some coleus might be less hardy than others. But they get floppy fast without water, so I don’t think I would let it dry for longer than an hour
@mockingjay did you make a coleus tree?! 😍😍😍
I've been wondering can mine get that tall or is it based on species?

@FitBrowallia I wish I could send you my coleus little plant babies. I'm not sure what to do with them!!
@LoveLeeLife I would advise you to just try with a cutting😊 I would think you can make one from any coleus.
It will grow taller when you make it a tree than a bush, as it sort of shifts the center of the bush if you know what I mean😄. But I guess the hight will vary a little as the size of the coleus-bushes also varies depending on type.
It was so much more fun than making a bush!
Just make sure to keep one stem and pinch the offshots until you reach the desired hight of the stem.
I also pinched the leaves along the way and ended up with HUGE leaves for a while before I let it branch out fully😄
It needs heavy trimming sometimes and looks quite sad after, but it grows back quickly and more beautiful 😊🌳
