incorrect, there are a hell of alot more successful growers that have no need to post about problems around here, as they dont have any problems to seek advice about... 90% of posts to do with salvia problems have something to do with over watering, but thats not 90% of the total number of people growing the species...

well thats contradictory to say the least... u should learn to check wot u write before u claim people are spreading misinformation in some big business based conspiracy theory

dont worry, there are plenty of regulars in this particular forum that know their shit and correct people when they are talking crap.

Would it be better to make cuttings of all remaining branches, or just leave the plant and hope it will recuperate on it's own? Will cuttings that are already rather stressed be less likely to survive? It's too early to say for sure yet, but the rot may have stopped right above the very last remaining node... would that make a compelling case for not making cuttings of the whole thing and just riding it out?

personally speaking... if i had a sick plant i would take as many cuttings as possible and start again with those. and leave the original plant to hopefully regenerate.
i had a couple of plants i neglected, very wilted due to my lazy watering (of course i mean my busy schedule)  i chopped them up a few days ago, within a couple of hours of the cuttings being placed in a cup of water they perked up and have started to throw roots within a week... its not ideal but the cuttings should make it.

Thanks. I think I will take your advice. I figure at least a couple cuttings will survive, and maybe it will take the burden off the sick plant to have to support too much growth... I assume I should leave at least a branch or two on the original plant... should i put plastic around the cuttings (a little makeshift greenhouse) or should they be ok in open air?

Definitely go for the makeshift greenhouse but don't mist too much that could invite the rot again. Make sure the plastic doesn't touch the cuttings.
