I guess I need to start taking coleus cuttings now right?

Can I just bring the whole plant in and let it grow all winter inside?
Are they annuals or tropicals?

I'll bring in my succulents and fancy leaf geraniums too....

Not to mention the ~25 amaryllis that I wanted to bloom for their second Xmas this year, but haven't brought in for them to go dormant yet.

I really don't like this part. Where to put them all? And I always lose half of the plants I hope to overwinter. I'm not a very good indoor gardener. I think this year I will actually write myself notes on my calendar to go to the sunroom and tend to them. I've got two young kids and I get so busy in the fall. We are already in the thick of things. Poor plants got so ignored last year. Very few made it in before the frost.

Better stop writing and start moving!
