Just got this cutting from a local plant store, does anyone know what it is? Trying to identify it but the app can't.

It’s a coleus

I have the same variety as shown in the picture. Place the cutting in very bright light while it’s growing roots.

The darker colors will return when the plant is rooted in soil and growing in full sun for at least 6 hours.

Remove the flower stem so the energy can go into making roots and leaves. The flowers can go on growing for a long time. The flowers will return once the plant is established in soil.
