Is this salvia baby doomed? ALIVE!! Updated 8/23
    #14463142 - 05/16/11 04:46 PM (12 years, 8 months ago)



Just received this and the pedro or torch's pictured.
I'm no green thumb, but I'm guessing that salvia plant doesn't stand a chance?

It is somewhat drying out and as you can see, it got snapped in half, can I clean it up and save it somehow?

Should I replant both the roots and the cleaned up upper half?
Looking for advice on possibly trying to save this tragedy.

I was shipped two tubed salvias that were in ROUGH shape, neither had any nodes and had rotted halfway down. Put that guy in some soil, water him well, and keep him at 100% humidity. I did that and one of the Salvias that I had received, and he made it out alright and created a node. Its doing pretty well ATM. Salvia is alot tougher than people give it credit for.

You'd be surprised. I think that Salvia could make a come back. I've seen worse turn into full bushy plants. Worth a shot especially if you have a green thumb.

Gently clean and replant both sections of stem.
If the leaves on the top portion do not recover cut them off.
Keep your soil somewhat damp and do not bother with a humidity dome/tent (seriously).

Thanks for the advice folks, I got em cleaned up and potted, sitting in a windowsill and gave em a bit of water.

Here's to hoping!

Thats a gorgeous orchid in your signature Deekay.

Is that a lily in your avatar? I love lilies, so much so that I named my daughter Lily. I've never seen one like that with so much lack of color, is it some type of albino strain or something?

There's still hope, Salvia can come back from some pretty dire circumstances. I'd say you have a good chance if you give it some tlc :smile:

Hopefully this thread will help inspire your efforts in keeping it alive :smile:

Salvia natively grows in a humid environment, but depending on your cuttings previous growing conditions it may be acclimatized to somewhat lower levels of humidity (like my own).

What's the weather like where you are now? Do you know what conditions the cutting was in before it was cut?

A humidity tent probably wouldn't be necessary if you have warm to hot weather, just keep the soil damp & the evaporating moisture near the ground should be enough. (& if it is hot maker sure you don't let it get any direct sunlight)

I live in new england, so the weather has lows around 45 and highs around 65 right now.

Not real humid, but not exactly arid either.
It is indoors though where the temp probably doesn't drop below 50. I don't have a hygrometer at the moment, all my scientific shit is packed away in storage, so its hard for me to gauge the humidity in the house.

The only reason I'd suggest one is, I've seen Salvia cuttings that had no leaves wither and die in conditions that would normally be no problem. If you just received it from an online vendor there is a very high chance it's been grown in 100%-ish humidity, so the shock of lower humidity as well as the need to regrow itself entirely will almost surely kill it. It's not a terrible amount of effort to keep the Salvia under a 2L pop bottle or something else to keep high humidity, and it may just mean the difference between recovery and dead...ness.

It wasn't from a vendor. I will try to find out if it was recently in high humidity.

If you choose to use a humidity tent I would only suggest a freezer bag flipped over each cutting. :shrug:

Also, my signature and avatar are both photos from the 2011 Philadelphia Flower Show (check out my gallery).
The lily was actually a creamy green color, I had never seen one like it before in my life. :ooo:

with the cactus', just let them dry out if they havent been drying already for a couple weeks, then just stick them root down into semi-moist soil, and just give it some time and they should all take off. the salvia is unfortunately, probably too far gone at this point, but miracles do happen! good luck!

Mother Nature never ceases to amaze me.

Look what has become of that beaten down, abused and broken little salvia plant.





As you can see, both the rooted half and the top half have both sprouted new leaves. They've both been under a humidity tent and getting a little water ever few days or so.

Should I leave them as they've been or what?

Looks good.

I'd leave them until you get some more growth. You could slowly start reducing humidity by adding holes the bag if you'd like.

What is climate right now in your area? Salvia really prefers to be outside if the climate is right.

Highs of around 85 to 90, lows around 60 at night.
Pretty humid too.

I would like to acclimate them to be outside, I just don't want to shock them since they are barely alive to begin with and I'm sure are still recovering from the abuse they took.

So should I start poking holes in the humidity tent and start putting them outside this week?

Do they prefer full shade, partial shade or full sun?

I would wait for a while before giving them full sun,and I definitely would not put them outside with the humidity tent on,they will get way too hot.

Like KGB1977 wait a little bit and place them outside without the humidity dome. Maybe they can go outside after another week or two of growth/acclimation as long as your temperature isn't over 95 F for more than an hour.

They need deep shade at first, but you can slowly acclimate them to a little more light. Full sun is a definite never. Partial sun is okay, but they don't really like it and if you let the soil get dry enough to droop they'll burn quickly. Shade with perhaps a touch of dappled sun is best. I have mine in deep shade right now since it's 95+ F for 4-5 hours each day.

I don't have any pest problems right now at all, but a couple of months ago the aphids seemed to be attracted to them. Keep an eye out for them as they multiply quickly.

You should start fertilizing at 1/4 or 1/2 strength once they go outside if you aren't already.

Thanks for the tips guys, I think I'll give them a bit of fert this week indoors, and poke some holes in the tent so they start getting used to lower humidity.

Then after I get a bit more growth I'll put em outside in full shade like you recommended. Thanks a bunch!

Out of curiousity, since I am far from a green thumb.

What type of fertilizer should I give my salvia?

Any generic "plant food"? Or is there something specific that this species performs well with?

Sure, I'll try to get some new ones up this weekend when I have time.
The root half is doing very well, the top half seems to be struggling a bit.

Whatever you've done has worked very well. It seems the Salvia can be exposed to the harshest of conditions and still live. From the latest pics I saw you should have no problems. Soon enough you'll be able to take a cut and root it. Dont cut until you have a few nodes though. And let it grow a good foot at least. Anyhoo, Nice rescue!

Ok here we go.

First two pics are the rooted half of the original plant. Last one is the top half.







The rooted half as you can see is doing much better.
So I should let it grow to a foot before I take any cuttings? Cause this thing is small right now. I'd say around only 4 inches.

Also, I'm a complete noob at this sort of thing. Anyone have any good guides on taking cuttings and rooting? I know the rooting part is pretty simple as I've read you can just stick the tip in plain water and it will eventually root. Just looking for more information on where to cut, how to cut, when to cut, etc.

Thanks guys, I never thought these guys would make it. And I think that it will never fully recover to be a prolific grower, but at the least I would like to get some cuttings off it so that I can grow a solid mother.

theres some really good vids on youtube about how to root and plant salvia cuttings

im so glad i found your thread btw, you know how my first post in this thread said that my salvia had died, well it was down to just a bit of stem so i had  given up and just put it in the ground outside, and after seeing that your stem had grown new leaves i went back outside to check if there was any green left at all, and there was about 3 inches of goodness left! so i put it back in a pot and i have it in a humidity dome

unfortunatly i left it out for a few weeks and it had died down past the first node, it seems to be shooting roots out of the stem above the soil but idk if its going to be able to make new leaves after all its been through

i think ill start keeping photo documents of how it goes and if it lives ill make a thread for it


thanks for the the thread though, i really didnt think it would even be possible for it to live through that :stoned:

Ok here we go.

First two pics are the rooted half of the original plant. Last one is the top half.

It has been awhile so I figured I'd update this post.

I also have a question about the leaves curling up. As you'll see, especially in the last photo, the leaves are curling under. They've been like this for a few weeks now. I slowly acclimated them out of humidity tents over the course of about a month, and they were fine. I'd say they were out of the tents for a good 2 weeks before the leaves started curling like this.

So what gives? Anyone have any ideas or recommendations? They sit in a corner basically between two windows so I think they're getting ample light. I only water once the soil has dried out.

Anyways, without further a do...







It's hard to believe from the original post that these two plants came from...THAT haha. I even took a cutting a couple weeks ago and rooted it, just planted it in soil today. Hoping it will be my mother from here out.

It's them being tempermental; they will eventually loose all of their old leaves and grow new hardened off ones. It's normal; don't fret too much when they start turning brown and crispy.

I avoid watering until they start drooping and the topsoil is parched; mine really dislike lots of moisture. Ironic for a jungle plant.

I also noticed that the growth on mine above seemed to have stopped. It was growing great steadily for a good 2 months, then just seemed to stop. The apical growth that they have right now, are very small and have been for at least 3 weeks. And the one plants apical node seems to have like died or something...it looks like it's clogged and isn't going to grow anything there. I'll try to get a good picture of it.

So what gives with the falloff of growth?
My only guess is maybe they are root bound? They are both only in a 4.5" diameter pot thats like 5 inch tall.

Ok this first picture is the apical node that I was describing above that looks like it died or got stuffed up or something.



These next two pictures shows the new "growth" that has been there for at least 3 weeks, if not a month.





What gives? rootbound? needs more nutes?
