One of the biggest concerns of new Salvia divinorum plant growers is the simplest way to maintain a healthy Salvia plant. The reason for this is that it is not cheap to obtain the essential means to basically grow a plant.
It is smart to consider growing a spit plant from cuttings. After you order your cuttings and receive them, it is essential to remove it from its packaging, carefully, and place it in a cup of luke-warm water. Now, if your cutting has some roots already, two hours in the water will be sufficient and then you can plant it. However , if your cutting does not have any roots, you'll have to let it stay in the water for at least a week till the roots begin to grow and are big enough to be planted.
Next, you may need to fill the base of the pot with some kind of gravel, as this may promote healthy water drainage. Now you are ready to plant your cutting, in a little hole in the middle of the pot. Water your cutting till it starts draining from the base of the pot. It is recommended that you place your planted cutting in a humid environment, but away from direct daylight,eg a well-lighted room or in direct sunlight but behind a net curtain. Water the Salvia any time the leaves or branches begin to shrivel.
Now, maintaining a healthy Salvia plant is not that different than maintaining a cutting, in that you must water it and keep it out of direct daylight. However , Salvia plants can are unbalanced because they have sometimes been grown in specific conditions. What you can do is find out about what conditions the plant was grown in originally and copy those, and then you can continuously change the conditions to something that's less complicated for you to maintain. If your home is not naturally humid, try placing your plant in the lavatory as the moisture from the showers will help it prosper. Salvia flourishes in temperatures ranging from 60-85 degrees F with high humidity.
A good rule of thumb to bear in mind is that if your Salvia plant is turning yellow, it needs more sun. If it is shriveling, it needs more water. If your plant starts going brown, then the conditions ( humidity levels ) are not right.
Live Salvia Divinorum cuttings can cost anywhere from $25 to $50.
