I spent a few months dipping my toe into gardening by planting coleus from seed. Now I have like 8 different coleus and recently added some new plants. Excited to continue exploring and growing 🥰

That's really cool, do you have other types of coleus as well? I just started my coleus collection this season!

I don’t, but I’m hoping to expand to other varieties once I feel more confident with all of my plants :)

I’m trying to grow coleus. I got 80% germination but they’re leggy. Gonna try again adjust the lighting
