Something curious has happened to my Satin Coleus.
The top leaves are throwing a different color....

Winder if it is a "winter thing"?--or lack of light? Or--maybe it is reverting to
another parent-Coleus? Other wise--they all are doing well.

My 3 Acalyphas, which have done amazingly well, are all of a sudden
dropping their leaves. No! There are NO bugs on them......
I moved them from under my lights to the top shelf--natural light only.
Maybe they had too much light--also too warm under the lights...
Maybe I am watering it too much too....things dry out quickly under the lights.

Everything under there has grown so leggy. I need to take new cuttings
from all the Coleus---Yaddda....yaddda...yadda....I know I have said this before....

Look at this! Check yours if you have them and see if this same thing
is happening.....
Karen--how about yours? I know you have this one..
