Coleus repotting

Fri Aug 21, 2015 11:06 pm

I took the top of one of my Coleus plants that is in the window and repotted it, it was looking kinda droopy so I took the bottom two big leaves off and then today I trimmed it some more. It looks a little better, will take a picture to let you see what I mean and you can tell me if it needs more trimming. I was thinking of taking the last two big leaves off and let the small ones get bigger. What do you think?

I would remove the large leaves. You need to get your root system established. Keep the soil evenly moist - not soggy. Give it a bright window to live in.

Good luck

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. ~Author Unknown
