OP NewtothePot Member Joined: Apr 2006 Ohio	I think this is where this should go, but forgive me if I am wrong. I have a nice Coleus that I have taken cuttings of and rooted in water. The cuttings have nice roots, but I'm not sure how to plant them into soil. Any suggestions? I tried potting one already, but I got scared and put it back into water when the leaves and stem started wilting. Is this normal? Please help, I need all the help I can get!
