Moreover, the method of cutting propagation is simple and easy, and it is also very easy to survive. Coleus breeding timeThe best time to breed coleus is in spring and summer, when the survival rate is high. After breeding, as long as the potting soil is kept moist, has good drainage, and is placed in a ventilated and lighted place, it can take root and sprout quickly. How to propagate coleusColeus cutting propagationCut vigorously growing coleus branches to a length of about 10 cm.

Keep the potting soil moist. The room temperature is 20℃, and it will germinate in about 15 days. Precautions for the propagation of coleusWhen propagating coleus, the soil must be loose and fertile, and the seeds need sufficient water for sowing. They will germinate in about 15 days.
