Coleus seed pod?

tennandy
15 years ago

I'm getting hooked on Coleus, I have one that I particulary like that I call bloodstain, If someone knows the true name that would be appreciated.

it is starting to bloom I think, what should I do ?

I would really love to get seeds from it or am I better off thying to just plant cuttings?

one more question do the cuttings have to be from the main stem top or can any healthy stem be used ?
