How to Make an East/Simply Hanging Basket with Coleus Cuttin

OSAKA, Japan(Zone 9b)

I've made a hanging basket with Coleus cuttings. The way we often do here in Japan. It's so easy and I'd be happy if it's of some use to you.

#1 The Coleus cuttings and the basket used. Some Maganp K should be mixed with the soil.

#2 Place pieces of pumice about 2cm deep at the bottom and cover them with some soil and plant the cuttings one in each slit.

#3 Put the soil as much as you can cover the roots, plant the cuttings in a second row, and place the soil over the roots.

#4 Plant the cuttings at the top and place moss.

#5 Water them well and that's all.


The basket finished is placed in the shade for a couple of days and will be on display wherever you want.

Hello Tomtom, thank you for sharing this. I like your coleus, do you get seeds from these as well?
