there were long discusions about how to preserve coleus through the winter.
beside collecting my own seeds i would like to try an experiment....
i have a 30 litre container with dying 4 different coleuses(whos seeds i have collected for next year.....my question is since i see here and there small little leaves sending signs of life i feel like cutting above these leaves wich are very close to the surface taking off rotten stems and leaving the whole root system as it is under the ground and give a nice layer of some dry potting soil to protect from cold weather to relocate to a warmer place and stop watering till spring.how does it sound?
