Could be too intense or not intense enough, could be that I won’t help the lowest plants and only help the top ones. If there’s been no change, two days is probably just not long enough to tell longterm. #### Lyric Farmerさんが2026-02-10に返信しました Seems like the purple wicked plants in the middle have gotten extremely droopy #### Lyric Farmerさんが2026-02-10に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/DiVt6UzyPnY8H6B1ZyvU_BgkcKZEbibNttX-DVbXg5o/9wt7klWMRIWa7m4-YTFU_A.webp?size=large) #### Lyric Farmerさんが2026-02-10に返信しました ![2件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/DiVt6UzyPnY8H6B1ZyvU_BgkcKZEbibNttX-DVbXg5o/Dc3PN1jYS6aPHMDIjA6tCQ.webp?size=large) ![2件中2件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/DiVt6UzyPnY8H6B1ZyvU_BgkcKZEbibNttX-DVbXg5o/mFE1y9rVRkKkfejrr2Czbg.webp?size=large) ### SJさんが2026-02-10にコメントしました I don’t have one but on quick search it seems like the purple wicked plant likes mostly shade/less intense light, same for the monstera. You could reorder your setup so the sun-lovers are up top, or simply lower the intensity. How long do you leave the light on? #### Lyric Farmerさんが2026-02-10に返信しました Over 6 hours #### SJさんが2026-02-10に返信しました Max 4 hours per day for shade lovers. Or you could put diffusion paper/cloth over the light. Seems as though this group of plants doesn’t need supplemental light there? ### Mollyさんが2026-02-10にコメントしました I think your coleus just needs some water, they like to stay consistently moist, they droop if they dry out too much. As for the lighting, they can tolerate high light, but need to be watered more. I have mine under 12hr light and have to water about every 3 days. The more light, the brighter the colors will be. If you want them to be bushier,just pinch them. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bp0TknceUYi5cxwj1O4Urg1E4yMaRHVMDhEV05aM4JA/B3d3K2aXTlCYUSuNwYCDXA.webp?size=large) #### Lyric Farmerさんが2026-02-10に返信しました Wow yours are gorgeous!!!! What do you mean by pinch them? And how do I know when they need to be in a bigger pot? ### Mollyさんが2026-02-10にコメントしました Thank you! I love coleus, they're my favorite. Pinching is just taking your thumb and index finger, or a pair of clean shears and pinch off the top set of leaves and the central stem just above a pair of leaves.. It will encourage two new branches to grow from that point. I only do it to my indoor ones, no need to do it to the outdoor ones. They can stay in the pot you have it in for quite a while, until you see roots coming out of the bottom. If they start to flower,, I recommend pinching them off as well,, as they can weaken the plant and cause them to loose their vibrant colors and can also lead to leggier growth and diminished leaf quantity. Do you plan on putting them outside in the spring/summer? These are just some of my outdoor ones from last year in full sun, 90-100 degree heat. They are on a selfwatering system 2x a day, 10 min each. Maintenance free. In late fall, I'll take cuttings to keep indoor until next spring. If you have the opportunity to put them outside once it warms up, I highly recommend it. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bp0TknceUYi5cxwj1O4Urg1E4yMaRHVMDhEV05aM4JA/yr_RLHgfRWSyV88tdTtDLg.webp?size=large) #### Lyric Farmerさんが2026-02-10に返信しました Oh wow those are beautiful!!!! And pots outside??? How is propagating these? #### Lyndaさんが2026-02-10に返信しました Yours was an absolutely great answer! Very informative with lots of great info! ### Mollyさんが2026-02-10にコメントしました I marked where you can pinch it off. I promise it won't hurt the plant, it'll be beneficial. ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/bp0TknceUYi5cxwj1O4Urg1E4yMaRHVMDhEV05aM4JA/cIvXjVtfSrCprgBHYAUMLg.webp?size=large) #### Lyric Farmerさんが2026-02-10に返信しました Wow thank you! Can I have your number or way for us to chat on here? This has been so great! ### Mollyさんが2026-02-10にコメントしました You're very welcome! Sorry, can't hand out my number, but I'm always on here and more than happy to help if I can.😉 ### Mollyさんが2026-02-10にコメントしました My outdoor ones are in 12" pots, and as for propagating, you just cut off a 4- 6 inch stem ,remove lower leaves and place it in water until it roots, or you can place it directly into moist putting soil. Water roots usually develop within a few days. --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
