how easy are salvia plants to take care of in your own home?

obviously with the recent media salvia has gotten because of that kid killing himself...
it was recently that he killed himself correct?
we need to prepare for the future of not being able to buy salvia online eventually.
so we have to move to the option of growing it in our own house.
how easy is it to keep a plant like this alive?
does it require the whole setup that it calls for to grow weed?
how do you determin the potency of the live plants you would grow?

from what I've read its a low maintenance plant. You should be able to keep it like a regular house plant since it has low lighting requirements... It wont produce seeds so if you want to propagate it further you are going to have to take cuttings...
I'm planning on getting a few myself very soon. Fuck them. I'll fight for my freedom.

hell yeah!
how do you figure out the potency of the plant that you have?
is there a general rule of thumb?

Don't quote me but I thought it was about 2.5mg/1gm on average, though there is probably infinate variables, fertilizers, light, TLC, etc.
I've had a plant for the last five years, they can take a lot of abuse once established. Over-watering and bugs seem to be the #1 killer.
MCGS testing will be the only means to accurately determine potency.

Hey, about your name. Is it from the African agouti?
And do you find Salvia to be a 'teacher plant'?

I am setting up an ethnobotanical garden of sorts in a few months, and I have set aside room for at least a couple S. divinorum plants. As McKenna once said,
"I don't know if you've noticed, but they aren't exactly handing out rights in this country. Ask a black person, ask a member of any sexual minority, ask a native American. They aren't giving away rights, you have to take them."
Well said.

its not that hard of a plant to take care of, but usually by the time you recieve it via some form of shipping from online, the plant has been through hell and back. its like reviving an E.R. patient, but once it gets back on its feet its pretty easy. im sure in all cases though you wont always recieve a plant in such poor condition.

"its like reviving an E.R. patient"
Exactly. Try to get it rooted if you can. It roots quickly, but it's in no state to spend the time when all it's leaves are falling off. They're quite easy to keep alive. But to get them looking healthy is beyond me. Hopefully after it reaches a foot or so it will really take off.
Humidity is the key early on.

How long does it take until you can start cutting it up and using it?

Good question. I never hear much about actual harvesting of the plant without doing it any harm. Most people probably just let it die, then rape it's 10 leaves.

I have 3 actually, they're doing quite well. Growth just seems pretty slow, and for a while they looked quite on the sad side.

the majority of the leaves I get to collect comes from making cuttings, or when I unintentionally neglect them and a few leaves fall off. I've picked leaves without cutting before, but you might as well just make a cutting and take the leaves from the bottom node.
All in all, salvia is an easy plant to care for. I mist twice a day. During the spring/summer I keep them outside in the shade, during fall/winter they are grown under an hps indirectly. They grow kinda slow under the hps but still stay healthy. Outside is a different story.

Be careful once salvia becomes illegal. No one will recognize it, but cops tend to think any tall leafy plant is pot. A few funny/sad stories in the news section about cops who think sunflowers and other plants are cannabis, and raid people's homes.
