Karen, your ystem looks alot like mine. I like the syrofoam cups. Those are inexpensive. Where did you find the mini greenhouses? And do those have vent holes?
Love prospers when a fault is forgiven, but dwelling on it separates close friends.

Anita, they are just regular flats with a tall humidity dome. The domes do have 2 vents on top. I buy them locally @ Worm's Way

that ginger land combo is perfect!!.. love the hibiscus.. which coleus is the one in #13?.. love that one!.. I find the fuschias are always better the 2nd year btw.. most come too small and take forever to bloom.. the next year it's always blooming right off the bat

Alas I cant hold over plants.I suspected as much when I ordered them but I had to make sure I wasnt missing something.

Ohhh number 13. Thats Norris.I tried it first time this year and its a favorite. The actual color is darker and more blue or eggplant. It isnt finnicky and once it gets going itb really takes off.
I paired it with Gingerland.

This is probably the most dramatic and beautiful coleus this year.
Trailing Black.

Allison, Have you ever grown it? It does best in part sun and given room in a large planter.
I have 2 others in nearly full sun and they didnt do as well.

A lot of my trailing rose have morphed into a sport that look identical to Jo Ann's trailing black. They just lose the rose markings over time. Like trailing rose, they're very vigorous growers. Mine seem to like lots of sun, also like trailing rose.
