wintering coleus

I'm really pleased with my coleus cuttings, now growing out in the windowsill. Here's the old standby pink one.

The lime-and-orange has recovered nicely:

'Kiwi Fern' is looking good, too- no more discolored foliage

even the smaller stems of it have healthy-looking leaves.

But the ones that really shine are the two pots of coleus that were bases of outside plants I cut down and root-trimmed in fall to bring inside. They are gorgeous. I've never had such healthy-looking overwintering coleus. Not sure if it's because I kept the original, cutback plant going, or because they are situated next to a heat vent with carboard blocking the draft, and get more sun than those in the windowsill...

but they sure are doing well!
