I have chopped off some bits of my coleus plant which was getting leggy,

shade, and how long to I wait before giving up the ghost on them?

I had success rooting a coleus relative in water and also taking
cuttings in a pot of soil in the usual way. This was the broad leaved
thme from Barbados. Sadly we've lost all the plants now.
