Double Duty Bouquet

Last weekend I picked a few coleus leaves and put them in a pitcher of water on my kitchen counter.


They have already sprouted roots

So today I will plant them outside.
A great way to get free plants.

    Have you ever tried growing a coleus as a houseplant? I know it can be done but I have never tried it.

    I tried this last year, but I think it was later in the season. Plus the restaurant guy's were buggie and killed them all off. I may try this with my own clean plants.

    Love your coleus bouquet. I also like your roosters. I used a rooster theme for the kitchen redo...

    You gave me the fantastic idea to ask my Dad if I could pick some of their coleus leaves and now I`m hoping mine will root too! My Mum said that while they were on holiday up north to their friend`s place, she had some coleus leaves as a houseplant inside. I think I`d like to plant some in the garden and maybe try one inside as well if you root for me.
    Thanks again for the idea!
