Today we got our Salvia Cut :D

[incubi]

This preciouss lil girl got here by mail in a small crystal cup.
It had already developed its roots in that gel thingy that we had to clean to put it on the vase.
We followed all the described procedures to have her grow in the safest and most confortable enviroment.
Cant wait to see her grow

Nice plant. Are you putting your plant outside? The weather in Portugal is kinda good if you put in partial shade, only getting morning sun..

I will also get one piece of cutting Salvia. It is already growing at my girlfriends house.
She have three giant plants! In hight maybe near or over one meter!
I could ask her to make more cuttings. So if someone want to take care of her she would probably make new cutting and send it in some kind of container.

 

[DCBA-25]

you can make cuttings for yourself and for sending as you said. like i said above, i too, can send salvia cuttings. I have the Hoffman/Wasson strain. Anyone care to trade with other strains?

PS. Salvia is completly legal in my country at the time i write this, so no ilegal activities are talked about here..

question

ok i managed to get cuttings

how do you grow them?

i mean i give them plenty of water and...?
how much light do you guve them
i mean on that second picture taken a week after it looks a really healthy cutting to me
a week has passed and the leaves keep getting brown

 

[gayedohi]

those are beautiful plants! wish i could grow some where i'm going. i'm getting ready to retire into the mountains and i don't think she would be very happy in sub freezing weather.

 

[Dantediv86]

ok my plants are definitely better now in one day they sproted new leaves and they are really healthy
to gayedohi
keep them inside in a room where you have at least 23°C

 

[Goran.Hrsak]

I have received Lady just like one on the pict.! Only smaller pot.
Friend (girlfriend but not as love one, just friend) told me that brown "like disease" are normal for Lady. But I do not know for sure in my opinion that brown spots or brown parts on leafs are normal (healthy plant).
Salvia needs shade, partially shade. Direct sun would burn her for sure!
Origin of Salvia is South America rain forest!! Remember that! No direct sun light!
Watch her. 8)

Hey there my fellows Psyhonauts today makes 2 months that i planted lil Sally up there and i think its time for me to post some pictures again and tell you guys and girls all the things that hapened this 2 months regarding my Sally.

first the thing everyone wanna see, "the rebellious teenager"!

Sally didnt gave me much worries this 2 months just asks for some water, fertilizer every 2 weeks and humidity LOTS of humidity.
I been trying to adapt Sally to our enviroment in order to get rid of the Dome (that i magnificently crafted out of a 5lt plastic bottle of water) but if i leave her outside for more than 1 hour i will find her all bent and almost lifeless as life itself was drained from the poor Sally corpse, but once i put the dome back covering her and moist it a bit she gets all happy and bounce back to life.
So far i dont have any heat/cold problems Sally its the humidity that is always a concern, as u can notice the top of the dome has some plastic to cover but during night i remove it in the hopes that the plant can slowly adapt at the normal temperature i have in my house, 20-28ºC.


Edit -- DCBA-25 i have the plant inside my home in my living room away from any direct sun exposure

In mexico they grow the sally in caves, so i think it can grow in anywhere, as long there is no direct sun-light. This month i gonna buy also my first salvia cuttings.

Gr,
Mystic.

Beautiful!!

About three quarters of a year ago I was looking at a similar plant. She's over 80cm's now with leaves up to 35cm

 

[Goran.Hrsak]

Third picture doesn't look to well! :?:
Why hers leafs are falling apart and look like rots before like leaves?
I think that you are giving her tooo much that fertilizer! Fertilizer can very easy fry your Salvia! For instance, my plant doesn't loose any of hers leaves, just opposite, leaves are huge and fat!

a week has passed and the leaves keep getting brown

Didn't you get a manual with it? Or didn't you buy it in a shop.
Why didn't you ask the "dealer" how to grow?

Here is some basic information, I found on the Internet:

Place the cutting in soil and give it enough water (don't overdo it).
You can place a glass over the cutting to create a higher the hydrating level and put it in a room with daylight, but not directly in the sun.

After a few weeks the new growth will be visible. After approximately three weeks the glass can be removed; the plant will be fully rooted by then and is ready to grow up in normal living room-circumstances.

the last picture is not focused and has some shades from outside over the plan so it makes it look a bit bad,
if u notice the only 2 leaves that arent looking too healthy are the ones at the base of the plant, and they always looked like that since i got the cutting,
some growing tips websites sugest taht one should cut them (the base leaves) before placing the plant in the soil, but since the cutting i got was so small i was afraid to take out those 2 leaves before the plant get bigger.
