I was talking to Joyanna's agriculture science teacher yesterday (dropped off a 30 gal aquarium for the classroom turtles). She's also the horticulture teacher (the high school has a greenhouse!). She was interested in any houseplant cuttings or coleus cuttings that rooted easily... preferably in water, because they will probably live on my kitchen island until Thanksgiving. If they started a variety of coleus cuttings now, they'd be able to take a lot of cuttings from the plants in Feb/March for their spring plant sale.

Sally, I'd love the inch plant and coleus cuttings you mentioned plus swedish ivy (either cutting or baby).

I have 'Inky Fingers' coleus (from Donner), regular green & variegated spider plant, Thanksgiving cactus, a sturdy purple trailing thing whose name always escapes me, and not much else.

If you could take cuttings (4" or longer, not counting the length of any blooms) of whatever kind of coleus you have and stuff them into a ziploc, that would be much appreciated!
We're all learners, doers, teachers.
