How do I propagate coleus? I live in Oklahoma zone 7 and would like to propagate a couple of my coleus to grow indoors before the winter

Hi & welcome! What a beautiful planter. You must be enjoying it very much.

Saving some is a great idea, and pretty common thing to do. There is an forum here dedicated to discussing Coleus. There are a LOT of discussions and pics of propagating there.

The golden rule: Do to others only that which you would have done to you.

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The 2nd best time is now. (-Unknown)

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.

Very very easy to root.
Plant it and they will come.

Grow stuff!
So easy to root!
Break off a nice branch, put it in a wide-mouthed vase or jar full of water, and change the water out every few days. It roots quickly, and is pretty enough to be on the kitchen table.

In fall before the killing frost, I sometimes make coleus vases for the bathroom counter. Because they root and live, they last much longer than a cut flower.

If you strictly want a potted plant, stick a clipping in moist soil in a bright area, out of direct sun until rooted.

I put them directly in soil - incredibly fast rooting. I make them with about four very sets of leaves and one or two bare nodes in the soil.
Plant it and they will come.
