how to shorten a stretchy salvia plant?

hey!!
i have a salvia cutting that i let get a little too stretched from being far away from the light. if i just bury the stem, will it survive & grow roots? i know other plants can do that. i would pick off the leaves of the length i was looking to bury obviously. or would it be better to let it just be this stretched??
thanks!!

(they are currently in an unused monotub bc i live in the desert & i had a large healthy cutting die on me like 5 weeks in when i kept it out with no humidity protection, even with frequent misting)

Why not just let it grow. You can use it as a mother plant and take cuttings when its little bigger. If you take the top off as a cutting later the lower part will branch out and get thicker. You need to gradually, slowly get the salvias used to lower humidity. I have 2 that grow inside my livingroom window and we have low humidity here. But i know it takes time to get them used to this low humidity.

oops i buried it already. idk it was really spindly & i currently have it in a closet under a grow light where height is a factor. i would like to put them out in the room w maybe a lamp on them or something but rn just wanted to keep em humid
yeah i learned the hard way lol i misted it often at first & it was fine for a few weeks, seemed healthy new growth & then it turned brown & died. i read sometimes they just do this but they can bounce back... however mine did not clearly lol. how did you go about introducing them? a few hours each day for a few weeks until a gradual full removal of humidity dome?

hereβs my set up. just made the light today. thatβs a lil cannabis seedling in the bird pot iβm gonna keep shoeboxes & sweaterboxes of shrooms behind it

nice. try 5-20 minutes at a time first before you try several hours.
