Kratom and Salvia Closet Grow
    #5970631 - 08/16/06 07:21 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

I have two young kratom plants, and two young salvia plants. I want to grow them in my closet under fluorescent light but Im unsure about other requirements for these plants in a closet situation. Should I keep a fan in the closet to circulate the air? Should I have a humidity tent for the plants?

Currently they are all sharing a north facing window sill in maryland and they're doing pretty well. I want to move them due to a slight draft coming from a vent positioned to blow air across the window. I noticed the draft when I saw my kratom leaves bouncing due to it. Then it dawned on me that thats probably the reason my salvia has some leaf curl going. I want my plants to thrive, they're surviving but I want better.

Any ideas?!

if you are willing to make that humidity tent, the salvia would be especially grateful, kratom loves humidity as well, but I find it can tolerate problems better than salvia.

I've been growing Salvia and Kratom in a closet under fluoros for a while (move Kratom outside in the summer though). Delta is right - Kratom is much more tolerant of humidity problems. I mist them both about four times a day anyway, because a humidity tent is not practical for me. You could line the closet with plastic and turn it into a big humidity chamber. I don't circulate the air, but then again I do leave the closet door open 24/7. Except for the humidity making the paint run on the closet walls, and fungus flies in the soil, I haven't had any problems. As long as you've got the room for a huge Kratom tree in there, you shouldn't have any trouble growing either of these in your closet.

If you were to make a humidity tent, you could and CO2 enrichment very cheaply by mixing up a mug of sugar water and add some brewer's yeast to it. Change it out once a week. This was a simple means of CO2 enrichment that I read in a pot growers book.

Can you help find a source of krantom plants? Would like to grow, job prevents continued use of an old favorite. I bought some krantom leaf on line(used alchol extraction) with nice results. I enjoy growing herbs in general(lemon balm is very nice), would like to grow krantom and plan to grow wormwood, a friend is about grow salvia. I appreciate any help you choose to give.
Namaste',
