Hi @Injusticehope

I think it partly depends on how much time and space you want to give them.

If they were mine and I wanted to grow them as large as possible I would up-pot the one on the right. It's branching well and expanding. I think it is approaching potbound (meaning the roots have reached the edges and bottom of the pot).

The one on the left could wait a little longer but in my experience coleus do fine when planted in larger pots than "needed", I have planted rooted cuttings into 10" pots (multiple cuttings) I wanted to fill. They grew rampantly!

Al @tapla , I've never seen a coleus bonsai! Creative and striking. What age is it? Thanks for sharing!
