So I combined my coleus cutlings today. 🪴 🥰 Do you guys leave the pruned leaves in the pot or ❌️? My 1st time doing this but certainly dont want to damage plant in any way. 😊 Also, has anyone grown these indoors? Any tips❓️

No i don't leave them in the pot. I just throw them away but i suppose you could try.

Ok I normally toss them as well so im thinking I'll remove them. Thx!

I don’t have this plant but with my other ones I totally do this, I figure it just decomposes in the soil.

I read that somewhere too!

They will rot which is fine for the garden. It can attract fungus gnats and grow fungus in the pots. Definitely, keep the pot free of debris.

Grow indoors in front of a south or west window. They like full sun i of t very bright shade to keep the colors vibrant. A grow light is an alternative. 🪴🍀
