Hmmm.... still reserving judgment here. Those cuttings I did Mar 29 are too wet. I'm taking the humidity dome off for a while each day, they wilt badly, I put it back on... I obviously needed more perlite in the mix, or potting soil, or something. I'm definitely better at cuttings with potting mix. I'm sure there's a learning curve, and I haven't passed the curve yet. Don't think these cuttings are going to take. I've never had a batch of coleus cuttings fail in potting mix/perlite.
Linda and Allison, can you give me an idea of what % of coir, potting mix, perlite, or whatever you use in your mix?
I can see how the coir might have an advantage in containers outside in summer- it sure holds a lot of moisture.
