I tried to start new coleus plants from one that I had last summer. The cuttings rooted; I started them in my greenhouse, in container gardens that I plan to put out this summer. Things seemed to be going fine, but after I pinched out the center shoots, the leaves that emerged were very tiny and bunched tightly together. I used worm casts in the pots and apply fish emulsion every other time I water, so I don't think under-fertilizing is the problem. The greenhouse is warm but doesn't get much direct sun. What am I doing wrong? I thought coleus were foolproof but not for this fool : (
