Talk about losing tops---ALL my Coleus lost their tops yesterday.
I finally cut them all back ans am hoping all the tops will root,,,again.
Trimmed back the tall stems--and now the bottoms will (hopefully) re-grow.
Some of the top parts were not all that strong as when taking cuttings from the garden,

This means that my Coleus supply may be tripled....IF they all make it..
I lost a bunch of plants from the fall trimming that never made it....
Like--from a tray-full of Osteospermum daisies--I only have one survivor.

Some pictures of other houseplants in the process of surviving til spring...

1--Waiting for my cut back brugs to start leafing out again. I see nubbies....
Will spray as soon as leaves emerge...have to head off whatever was the problem early.
2--The Braz. Plume cuttings are almost full-size plants by now
3--Trying to keep my ONLY Maya cutting from dying. Have it under a plastic bag...
4--I totally chopped back my big Angel Wing Begonia a while ago.
The cuttings are in water rooting--and the Mama is already growing back.
Kind of too soon--as I usually do this in spring. I uproot it, put new spoil in the pot,
and then leave it outside... Oh, well...
5--My poor little Rex Begonias are giving up the ghost...They lasted 2 years....
