I remember my mom always rooted hers in water, but this is definitely better. That way, I wouldn't have to transplant for awhile!
One question is - you say keep in the shade. I do houseplants, so would I want to just keep it by a bright window with indirect light? Will that be enough to make it root?
Two - would it be better (to make the parent plant bushier) to make my initial cuttings from stems on the "inside" of the plant and not those on outlying stems? Or does that matter? I've got one coleus and it's getting leggy. I've been pinching it back, but would love for it to fill in more. The picture is how it looked when I first got it- I want it back to that or even bushier.
Thanks for a terrific article-I'll definitely be referencing this alot
