The listing, BEAUTIFUL - COLEUS plant clippings - WINNERS CHOICE has ended.

Up for grabs is....


A few clippings from my Coleus plant. These are so beautiful. Winner will choose between the two colors I have. The plants circled in the picture are the two that you can choose from. One is bright neon green and darker green. The other is darker green with pinkish red in the middle.

Just plant these clippings in good damp soil or water and in a few weeks you will see it start to root!

COLEUS INFO -

The plants grow well in moist well-drained soil, and typically grow 0.5-1 m tall, though some may grow as tall as 2 meters. Coleus are typically grown as ornamental plants. They are heat-tolerant, though they do less well in full sun in subtropical areas than in the shade. In mild areas (no snow in winter), plants can usually be kept as perennials if well managed. Whereas cultivation in colder areas, they are often grown as annuals as they are not hardy and become leggy and unattractive with age. Though this is usually resolved by pinching back growing tips to encourage bushing. In bright hot areas, the colors of the plant will typically be more intense in shaded areas than in full sun, and the plants will require less water there. Coleus also make low-maintenance houseplants, and can often be propagated by clipping a length of stem just below the leaves and putting the stem in water to root. The plant's flowers grow on a stem above that stem's leaves, and tend to be purple and quite small in comparison to the leaves. The plant is not generally grown for its flowers, as it promotes stem elongation.
