Little question to all fellow Salvia D. growers:
Just made an interesting observation, rather curious if I'm the only one.
Approx half a year ago I ordered a SD cuttling from az.
Initialy it has been very very picky about humidity, had to put it into a "humidity tend" (jar) for the first couple of weeks.
It almost died when i tried to remove it too early just for a couple of hours.
When getting older it pretty much lost this touchyness.
This is nothing new, discussed here and on many other places a lot.
Ok, my plant is doing very well, its already higher than me, recently I took cuttlings from it.
So I currently have a couple of "second generation" SD's baby-plants.
Just a few weeks old, but they seem to be growing well.
Now to the observation: This second generation baby-plants have no sensivity to humidity at all. (Unlike to cuttling from az)
This was pretty unexcepted ...
Probably inherited from the mother plant ???
Is this normal behaviour ?
It's nice because it makes growing easier, need a lot less attention/care etc.
Anyone else who made the same obsevation or is this a rare mutation *g*
???
