Salvia Growing Tips?
    #5888199 -

I just received a salvia clone about a week and a half ago. The paper that I got with it says to not transplant it until at least 2-3 weeks after receiving it. I still have a couple questions about growing it though.

Right now I have the plant in front of a window that's fairly sunny but has tissue paper over it. I'm wondering if at any point I could take it out of the window and put my 400 Watt Halide lamp on it. Would that or wouldn't that be a good idea?

I'm also wondering how tall a salvia plant can get. Right now it's about a foot tall.

Lastly, I'm curious about how one would get a salvia plant to flower. And can the flowers be used for anything or is it just the leaves you would harvest?

This is the biggest plant a brief websearch turned up:

Hmm, I'm wondering about the same thing. Instinctively I'd say 200 watt/sq meter would be better than the 400 watt/sq meter often used for weed.

Take cuttings, cuttings, cuttings, cuttings!

Salvia grows well but you can expect to lose a plant here and there, so make sure you have some to spare.

salvias like rainwater as opposed to well or city water. in one growing season a salvia can grow into a 3 to 5 gallon pot!

Don't panic, it's organic!

My mother salvia reached 6 feet in hieght, with 3, foot-long flowers! After cutting her back for winter, she is on her 2nd year, and already is 3 feet tall and growing rapidly.
Yield: 1/4 lb of leaves.
Peace

Thanks for the advice. I'll avoid the 400 Watt lamp I guess and eventually take some cuttings. The same place that I bought the plant from sells cloning root gel so I guess I'll buy some of that.

Hey hey, don't let this discourage you! If someone can confirm this 200W/m2, then you can simply use your 400W lamp to illuminate TWICE the floorspace, meaning twice teh harvest (say a circle 6ft in diameter)

Clone it like a madman, and give clones to EVERYONE, including grandma who merely wants to grow it as a pretty houseplant. Should a plague of Biblical proportions strike your grow, grandma will merrily give you a cutting so you can start anew. Redundency people: make sure you'll never lose this plant.

Kind of off-topic, Wiccan, but wouldn't it be easy (if and when salvia is demonized and criminalized) for a legal vendor in a different country to sell a US/European person a cutting?

If something is criminalized in your country, you can't receive it, and if it is criminalized in their country you can't send it.

:thumbup:  excellent! Salvia needs as many people with The Right Stuff as can be found! Salvia will likely become business, but right now it is still a Cause, like weed was in the 1960s-1970s
