    Pinch the enters down. That will cause them to get wider, not taller.

    Absolutely! in the early season, I pinch out the blossoms and that forces the plant to send its energy to grow wider.

    Definitely! I cut the tops out of mine and put them in a vase of water until they grow roots then replant. At the end of summer I cut all of my and place them in jars of water until summer. I never had to buy Coleus to replant in the spring!
