Here's some of the coleus colour. (I throw away many more than survive...) Begonia plant grown from a single leaf Streptocarpus cuttings in bloom Sure beats the foggy outdoors for colour!

I love the first Coleus and the fourth one, and that "Beefsteak" begonia is very nice! my Streptocarpella cuttings are kinda lagging, they had been in water for so long that it took a while for them to get "soil" roots. It is putting forth some nice new darker green shoots from the base so I know it will get looking better, hopfully as good as yours looks.

I never do well with coleus myself. And to grow a begonia from a leaf, what is you secret?
