Don't forget to propogate your baby! And also to make sure that it SURVIVES!!

If your plant is bent over and/or breaking at the stem, then you need to pinch off at the spot of bending, which is generally two leaf-levels down from the top, so that your plant is kind of short. It will survive BEST this way. Anytime your Coleus bends over, pinch off the problem spot. Also, pinch off long stems to prevent it from getting too heavy on one side. Make sure you do this as soon as possible, to prevent cellular mutations. Coleus is a domestic plant, and would not survive without you taking care of it!
Also, you can put the pinched off parts in some water and grow new baby Coleus. REMEMBER!!! Vegetatively propogated offspring are worth extra credit!!! This means that asexually reproduced Coleus are what you want for your extra credit. Propogating just means taking a part of the plant and growing a new plant from it. Which is basically asexual reproduction.
One last thing: YOU DON'T WANT IT TO FLOWER! To get rid of the flowers, just pinch it off right behind the flower, not that whole stem, unless the stem is too long.
Thank you for listening. (:
