my first cuttling and first problems.

[blueray88]

Hey guys!


I received my cutting last week and directly planted it by the instructions. When it arrived, it already had big leaves, however they were already black. The roots were also pretty big.
It seemed like the cutting waited for shipping for quite some time. The gel was pretty solid and I could hardly get it out of the tube or rather remove it from the roots.





So I put organic soil with organic fertilizer and turf-free into a glass (didn't have something else to hand), planted the cutting, watered it and put a bag on top.

Now I obviously only have the main stem including roots, because all leaves fell off (as well as me removing the black ones). one week is over and at the center of the main stem two shoots are formed. However it begins to get black on the top, which moves down closer to the bottom daily.
What can that be? Is that normal? Like you can see in the picture, it seems like the upper part gets moldy, does that mean it's not ventilated enough?




I appreciate any fast help.


Thanks in advance
Stephan

Hello.

I think that you are keeping your salvia in too much humid place.In other words you are probably watering it to much. Make sure that water can get out of your pot. If I were you I would cut the top off if you won't do thit your plant will turn rotten. There is also an possibility you fertilized it to much.

In the future avoid getting shipped salvia try getting it from an friend. I have my 14 plants growing on my balcony,they are putted in a shade and only when the sun is setting they get about 1 hour of light I spray their leaves with water once a day and I water them only when the soil is dry. If you have lot's of light in your bathroom you could also put salvia there. If air humidity is good salvia will grow like crazy.

Samvia is tricky to harvest, after the second dead plant i've giving up.

I hope you'll be luckier.

I don't know I have made a lot of cuttings from my salvia plants and not an single one of them turned rotten.I think the couse that your salvia plants are turning rotten is because (most of you) get this plant from mail and the plant probably gets sick because of the travel.

Again try getting this plant from someone you know or buy them in those shamans shops,because the plant is already accustomed to the weather this way.

Mine came from a friend.

Anyway i don't smoke salvia anymore, i just like to grow plant.

Yep growing plants is a lot of fun. But I still can't put up with those ornamental plants brrrr I hate them.
