Aelita Evening Glow Coleus
My Winter Wonderland Coleus Surprise
summarizeEditor's Summary
I'm obsessed with my Coleus Crimson Ruffles, a stunning houseplant that's been a long-time favorite of mine. My mom gave me a new cutting, and I was excited to try something new - shaping it into a tree-like form was a bit of a process, but the end result was totally worth it. To my delight, the plant took to its new conditions and started growing rapidly, and I was thrilled to admire its unique leaf pattern. It's amazing how a new cutting can bring back memories - I had this plant a few years ago, but it's like it's brand new all over again.
