[Objective] To provide scientific bases for the propagation of Coleus blumei. [Method] With the healthy branches of potted Coleus blumei as experiment materials, effects of sucrose concentration on the rooting of Coleus blumei cuttings as well as effects of sunlight on its growth were studied. [Results] Being compared with the CK (clear water), sucrose solution with low or high concentration will not promote the rooting of Coleus blumei cuttings; illumination will enhance the growth of Coleus blumei cuttings with roots; cutting treatment and management measures will greatly influence the rooting rate of Coleus blumei cuttings. [Conclusions] Sucrose solution will not promote the rooting of Coleus blumei cuttings; illumination will enhance the growth of Coleus blumei cuttings.
