coleus into winter pots

Some people keep their coleus cuttings in jars of water all winter. I remembered this week why I don't do that- mine start to go fungal. So it was time to pot them all up. I have six varieties I keep going now-
the purple-veined 'gay delight'
my oldest- pink 'watermelon' (blurry pic oops)
favorite 'kiwi fern'
here's 'exhibition limelight' and 'wizard' something
another pot of 'wizard', the orange/lime green one (many many more cuttings of this are on the back of the window tank now), and one more 'exhibition limelight'.
hard to believe but my summer stand of the orange/lime coleus is still out there in the front yard, braving the cold rain. I expect to pull them for composting any day now, when they wilt hard.
