Probably too much light; it is used to way less light than what you are giving it.

Edit: But I wouldn't recommend changing anything now, you should keep things as steady as possible.
The older leaves might die off, but hopefully the young ones will survive.

Salvia is piss-easy to grow! The myth that this plant requires a lot of attention is incorrect.
I once had a single cutting like yourself and mothered it like crazy thinking I was doing the right thing, but that was not the case. The more I mothered it, it seems it would retract from my help.
Don't give them direct light, put it on a windowsil or outside some place and leave it. They can withstand dry soil, you'll know when it needs watering, the leaves will wilt. Your leaves are curling downwards which may indicate it's getting too much water.
Remove it from it's current locale and move it to a place where it will get indirect sunlight and just leave it alone.

I put mine outside and ignored it, and it's growth was unsurpassed to that when it was indoors. Cuttings are piss easy to take too. Just nip it off so the cutting has about 3 nodes and leave in a glass of water on a windowsil.

HTH.

I agree with everything JT said here.

I grew my salvia indoors next to a window for a couple of years and they were forever spindly, sickly pale green and super prone to getting mite infestation. I kept having to spray them with Omite to kill these intense mite infestations, which meant I couldnt use those leaves coz Omite is fkn toxic...

Finally I moved them outside and boom, flourishing salvia garden!

I have them growing in a shady corner where they get patchy light. We get pretty hot, dry summers where I am, but as long as they are well shaded they seem to survive the heat ok. So far they have thrived. I just keep the water up to them, give them an occassional handful of slow-release fertilizer and now I have more leaf than I can ever use.

I find that if u grow them indoors, and they dont get enough light the soil will stay sodden and wont dry out and the plants dont like it. They prefer well drained soil. They dont like to dry out, but neither do they like being in sodden soil. You want to be able to go back to them 2-3 days after last watering, stick ur finder in the soil and see that it is dampish, but not sodden.. if that makes sense. Looking at your cutting Oriky, it looks like it might be too wet, as JT said.

Actually Im just about to start a thread with pics of my Salvias... They are flowering :shocked:!!! Ive had em for 3.5 years and this is the first time they have flowered. :dancer:
