Tricky part is getting it to fertilize.

I am very surprised that they're doing so well as seedlings even without a humidity tent! Truly a very adaptive plant!

Yes what an awesome plant, and those little guys are on 24hr watch  But very careful not to overcare, they're coming along nicely but slowly. The seedlings have the exact same conditions the mother had, so hopefully the acclimatization is in their genes.

I was just think about, maybe salvia plant likes a bit shady conditions and need photoperiod seasons as well?
I have never grow that plant but few people I have seen growing them try to give them lots of light and hope they grow faster. But I have seen only poor non-healthy plants.
But I really don't know anything about that plant..
Interesting thread because there may be key factors to get salvia plant flower and grow in shade at windowsill, it's possible, there are lots of plants like to be in shade. Windows always reflect sunlight off, that's why it's hard to see indoors during day time.But this plant may grow in habitat shaded by other plants?
There are lots of plant species anyway what doesn't like to be under strong light.
So far those few poor grow I have seen around friends house. They are not so healthy plants but they were all I have sen under hot artificial lights. I have never seen someone grow it windowsill or even think about it here. But i's fact high power light cause heat and it will reduce humidity radically, and less temperatures increase humidity, maybe those people tried too much with power lights and they drop humidity too much or something?
Humidity have totally different role with windowsill grow compared to artificial lights. Most lights drop humidity because of heat they generate. So sun trough window feels ok. IF this plant have evolved at first place by growing under shade of other plants? It may explain a lot if this plant have used to grow at shade of other big plants so windowsill light sounds best choice then..
Was there any factors trigger flowering other than natural photoperiod and windowsill diffused sun light? It's always more humid in room without any lights heating and windowsill light is diffused and nice light without humidity drop so much. Also cloudy days may offer longer humid periods if direct sun light tend to drop humidity for a while.
This thread makes me interested to get salvia plant and try it as windowsill plant.
I think I can manage to adjust them to my humid climate. Winter time may be too cold, but I can't know that..
Now I need to hunt down few cuttings.. Never managed to get one. Or even tried. Experience from plant was not fun at all. My ex-GF was interested towards this plant anyway, but never succeed to grow it under CFL lights etc.. She never tested windowsill tho...(and her friends had these plants but all under lights HPS/CFL and they didn't look healthy at all..)
Thanks again by posting this!!
I'm gonna try grow these when I am able to get even one cutting..  I just wasn't interested of these plants before since I think they are impossible to grow.. Seems they do better as "house plant" than plant under lights.. Based on what I've read your posts.. Would it be?

Yes, my salvia like bright direct sun, Ive tried to avoid direct sun past the cool early morning sun. When she did get hot afternoon direct sun she would turn away and wilt and look like she needed to be watered, but soil is plenty moist. I think that's where some growers go wrong. I think they might have correct soil moisture and put the plant in bright light, plant wilts looking like it needs water, water is given and might get overwatered?
Yes I think the plant would be happy being shaded from bright direct sun behind other tall leafy plants, as long as lots of light gets to her, not too shaded. I have never tried growing salvia under the t5's or any other artificial light. Maybe I'll try with a clone to see how it does.
Humidity is a big factor, if the air is too dry the leaves tend to dry out, but if the leaves are too wet say from misting too much the leaves would turn black from the tips, so I didn't mist. It's cold here too for 7 months or so so as long as they stay away from drafts. In the winter it gets dry indoors and I placed a pot or a pan with water beside the plant to aid humidity.
Yes I think salvia would be a fine houseplant for you, I hope you are able to find some clones

Day 7 and they're coming along nicely They got a bit of direct sun this am for about an hour. At this time of year the sun intensity is weaker and I read - 2500 footcandles through a screened dusty window, so that's not bad. They seemed to like it

Thanks!  I'll take your word for it, I've never grown basil. I've been told they look like clovers too!

I've been away from the little fellas all day and won't see them for another 16 hrs or so. Can't help but worry about this and that and keep thinking they're ok, they're fine!  Driving my gf crazy

Awesome salvia seedlings man! They look completely different from when they are larger. I hope they turn out well!

An unidentified houseplant had gone into bloom, when put in the cold, and a box full of cacti bloomed in the mail. Some plants seem to do reproduce, when giving up their last, or in response to what is called a photo-period.
I believe that Salvia is daylight sensitive and will tend to bloom in the Fall.
I have also read that applying a mild, alkaline solution can cause unpollinated, female flowers to set seed.
I'm having very good luck, germinating small seeds, in a sterilized tray, using a moist, but not wet, paper towel, covered lightly with saran wrap. This can still breath, but is not allowed to evaporate quickly. The color of the towel also helps me to see small seeds more easily. The room is warm, and the tray is not under direct light.
When I am ready to sow the seed, I scratch the substrate, to make it loose, lay a fine seedling on top, and spray it with a water sprayer. Debris floats to the top of the bulging water drop and settles around the tiny seedling without crushing it. So far, the growing plantlet has always found it's way to the top of the soil, if kept lightly moist, as under a humidity dome.

Absolutely CANNOT wait to see how this thread turns out!

Hey, When, I don't remembering you mentioning this, but is this your only flowering plant that you have? I see you are doing cuttings in plain water. I haven't done research on the topic, but are salvia supposed to be self-fertile? I am guessing they are since I just see the one flowering plant.
How tall is that mother, anyway?

Yeah, S. divinorum is self fertile. It is monoecious, meaning it has male and female anatomy on the one plant.
