Succeed with coleus cuttings!

Successfully Rooting Your Coleus!

  1. Careful Unpacking:

    • When the package arrives, open it carefully and handle the cuttings gently.
    • It's normal for them to look a bit sad after the journey.

  2. Re-cutting Unrooted Cuttings:

    • If a cutting is unrooted, make a fresh cut with a clean and sharp knife or scissors for a fresh start.
    • Note that the cutting may look sad for a few days before roots develop.

  3. Water Propagation:

    • Use the water propagation method for quicker recovery and impressive roots.
    • Use a tall glass with water about 3 cm up.
    • 4. Soil Propagation:
    • Use the soil propagation method for a stable foundation, especially in autumn and winter.
    • Use a small pot with soil mixed with a bit of perlite for better structure.
    • Keep the soil moist without it getting too wet or dry.
    • Place the cutting in a bright spot without direct sunlight until it establishes roots.

  5. Be Patient and Trust the Process:

    • The cutting will change as the new roots absorb water.
    • It usually takes about a week for it to go from droopy to perky.
    • Be patient and good luck – you can do it!

By following these steps and having a little patience, your coleus cuttings will thrive and grow into strong and beautiful plants!
