A storm came through a few nights ago and damaged several plants, so I decided to propagate my damaged coleus. I’m crossing my fingers that they will grow roots. 🤞

Oh they will. These root quickly and well! You'll have so many new coleus! 😅

My coleus didn’t root as expected, so I ended up throwing them out. Oh well☹️

Ah, sorry to hear this! If you have a golden pothos, stick a piece of that into your propagation vessels. It will help your props root more effectively!
