Great video!!!! Your collection of coleus looks fantastic. You certainly have a huge variety in your containers. I'm truly impressed. It is hard to pick a favorite.
Hi Jim. It got so gusty here today in Union county NJ and it blew my tomato plants so hard that it pulled up the stakes! I've never seen a windy day like this in the 45 years I live here. Maybe during a hurricane but not on a sunny day. Needless to say, I was out there for hours like a maniac resetting big potted plants that kept blowing over. I put in bricks to hold them down but still kept blowing over. Plus, everything was drying out so fast that it kept me busy watering every 3 hours. And i had neglected to get my tomato vines tied all the way up the stakes so quickly tried to do that right after giving everything it's first drink. What a crazy day. I am tired.
Hi Pat. Last night I was working down southern Ocean County GSP... Ive never seen such persistent sustained cloud to cloud & cloud to ground Lightning 🌩!!! It was like daylight....then the Downpours. Had some serious accidents. After I finished this video I placed my Pots under the table and closed the Greenhouse door. We has gusts but I think you got the brunt of it as it hadn't been in the 90's here... mid 80's with a cool ocean breeze. Take it easy tomorrow. You AND the plants will need water no doubt.!!
Beautiful, Jim! 😁 Ok just off the top of my head “Whimsy Wizard”, “Wizard of Whimsy”, “Fancy Wizard”, “Wizard of Enchantment”, “Hot Pink Wonder Wizard”. ❤️ Whatever you call it, I love it and I want it. 😂 Very strong wind here too Jim. Today it actually blew one of my plants right off the window sill! 😮
Thank you. Not everyone wants to nor has the time , skill or equipment necessary to start seeds. And because Coleus root so easily you can enjoy a Quickie new plant with just a snip off a larger plant. It's actually how I got started in Coleus....by snipping a few Coleus I saw at a park ....wet Rooting and growing them.
6 years ago i sold my bike featured in the first seconds of the famous song "vamos a la playa" , and i bought cacti 🌵 with that money, i wish i had spent that in coleus cultivation, its just different i'd have been wealthy by now no way cacti comes even close
I wish you plenty of succes, those who hacked ur FB are cowards, i hear plenty of bad story's these days, my neighborhood is very suseptible to coward acts, recently they robbed a fisher-man along the river sleeping in his van, here in small town, its sickening to hear this, even home-invasions and hurting their dog and all, its really really a bad neighborhood i liv in , i wish i could pack it up and leave some thimes
I made a colosal mistake My PH-pen is completely off the chart i have to calibrate it i gave waaay too low PH because the pen is showing wrong numbers i hope they survive that mistake
Hey Ignore them. Also Don't overwhelm yourself as I did by growing too many. I grew 1,000 one year and it's waaay tooo much for me because it's just me. I have over the course of trials found that between 450- 500 is best and manageable.
@@Jimswholiestofcoleus thank you but i'm still going to giv it a shot to grow 1000 i feel like i have to, to prove to my peers i can make it , & this way i'm sure at least 400-500 survive :)
the more coleus i have the more i could propagate them, i want to come to a point of no return, its harder to go from 0 to 2000 than going from 2000 to 1 000 000, that's pretty much my mentality going into this thing, if it has to colonise my bedroom than so be it :)
@@Jimswholiestofcoleus that actually my goal now, 1000 seeds, i grabbed the soil from the ground for it, and i wil add torf and sand & sow 1000 seeds, i just have to, (i can immagine it wil be a full-time job) but i'm up for it
@@Jimswholiestofcoleus sure :) that wil be the struggle especially with my mother that is not very enthusiast about my plan but COLEUS ALL THE WAY, i'm investing every single penny i got in coleus 100%
a neighbour country of mine (the netherlands) sells rainbow mix coleus seeds in bulk 1000 for 1.95€ (super cheap) and they have stock apparently, next couple days i buy 3k seeds to sow 1k and store the rest in my basement, i'm very close to do so, all i need is seeding trays and nursery pots i'm very close to do so end of next month its sowed if i have to giv them steroids i sure wil, long liv coleus ! My sister yelled at me because i took all her soil she was gonna use to fil a pit Man on a mission ☝️
Hello my dear friend. I enjoyed watching the video and the wonderful flowers. I congratulate you and wish you success in your work.

Hey Thanks Mike. You hit it!! Sooo tough... I try to get a few new varieties each season too!!
Wow amazing coleus. Those look awesome. Well done Jim.
Doug your very kind!!
Your plants are looking beautiful Jim.
Hi Suzanne!! Thank you. 😀
@@Jimswholiestofcoleus 😉
I have a King Kong. Coleus. It popped out big and beautiful. I do have a rooting from a stem that broke during a storm. Beautiful plant
Perhaps one of the most rewarding parts of growing Coleus....the ability to take a stem and clone another plant...VERY EASILY!!

😆 🤣 😂!!! Great names Sher' 👌 Hey I giggled a bit in my twisted mind ....I read that it was your PLLLLANTS that blew off.... but my mind saw "PANTS". 😆
Your Coleus are stunning! Thank you for a great info I would like to try growing it from cuttings as I don't have luck growing from seeds.

Jim. If Vincent Van Gogh painted coleus they would not look as nice as yours. 👍👍
Hey Pete.... Not bad for a guy with two ears!!! 😆 🤣

I have a few Cacti myself...but I agree Coleus are on a much higher level!
You know coleus is still my favorite plant???
I KNOW it must be...because you are one of my Favorite Subscribers...always taking the time to make a pleasant comment 😊
I believe coleus wil change my live, if my math is correct, i believe i can do it, next up i have to buy a thousand seeds
😆 🤣 !! Well I can set you up with seeds!! I sell them September thru March on my Ebay listing "JIMS COLEUS"
Thank you :) i'l save to buy some seeds of yours september-march, i'l start from seed soon enough this is my priority now

I finally got access to my FB page. Yes it's Aweful!!!
I made a colosal mistake My PH-pen is completely off the chart i have to calibrate it i gave waaay too low PH because the pen is showing wrong numbers i hope they survive that mistake
People make fun of me when i talk about my idea to grow alot coleus, i'm really putting in the work i wil get it done

Hi Jim, i want you to sow 40k seeds, this should be ur priority, you need them by ten thousands 40K coleus you need
😆 OH my!!! I sowed
1,000 one year!! Waaaay too much for 1 man!!!
