I have this coleus that seems to think it is a tree. Since potting it up, it has grown a good 10 inches and I do not know whether to leave it alone or prune it down. Are some varieties prone to growing straight up, and if so, should they be left alone? Can you tell I am a real novice to coleus - I grew 2 plants last year for the first time ever. Those plants brought me here and I have really enjoyed seeing the beautiful varieties many of you have shown.
