   Is that a coleus? They’re beautiful, but they’re annuals, so you can’t keep them going forever anyway. They’re programmed to bolt and die.

     I have had mine two years now. She comes indoors for the winter. Nearly lost it last year though. I propagated last winter to try to save it. I lost the mother but I have its baby I cut last year still and it’s doing fine.

     I think propagating them annually is a good strategy, that way you always have a nice vigorous young plant!

   Check those cottony looking bits to see if they move or shrink to an orange dot when you dab a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol on them. They maybe mealybugs. Look at the white dots on the rim of pot and all over the trellises. They may be junior mealy bugs or thrips. Those two pests can decimate a plant. They drain the sap.

   I forgot to add you have to remove the dead leaves and stems before they completely decay and cause another level of problems including fungus. I remove them before watering. It gives me the chance to inspect for pests and anything else residing under the dead leaves. Those dead leaves can fall into nearby pots, as shown lower left in the photo, possibly spreading disease and pests. 🍀🪴
