One plant which can spread beauty thru ones home or studio is the Coleus, the hottest, known as Coleus Hybridus. A way more colourful Coleus plant, simply called'Rainbow Mixed Colors' on the seed package is unbeatable in color diversifications. Due to the high level of regeneration of the Coleus plant, you might simply propagate a single nursery purchased plant or one started from seed into a couple of absolutely new plants. It's easy ! Once the plant has ripened to a pretty foliage, cuttings can then be taken. Begin cutting close to the bottom. Trim each to about 6' in length, then trimming four to 6 of the lower leaves. Place cuttings in a jar or glass, about third crammed with easy tap water.
The Coleus gets pretty parched and could drain your plants water supply in a brief time. At this juncture, one must be a little more discriminating, at least in selecting the kind of growing media in which our new botanical jewels will spend their maturing lives. First, one can simply find soil which will grow our new cuttings and keep them in their most healthy state through their adult lives and produce the brightest of color divergences in their fast changing leaf patterns. The soil may hold the best amount of organic material as practical together with self contained nutriments in the organic growing material. Every individual plant should have sufficient room to stay in this size pot for approximately two months. When the Coleus has outgrown its original pot, it is time to move it to the 8' pot size. This should last for the remainder of its natural life...but now the method can be started all over again and you'll have a home full of the pretty Coleus plant.
