Salvia - how many cuttings can I take at once?
    #7555788 - 10/24/07 04:35 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

So I've had these two salvia plants for quite a while now. They haven't got a lot of attention, I just water them when they get droopy and throw some ferts on every few months. The leaves of one plant looked like it was being massacred by something, chewing them to shreds. I have been spraying it weekly with some sort of fungicide/miticide/pesticide stuff and it seems to be improving.

Anyway, my plants are so big that they can't properly support it's weight and the branches fall over the pot then curve back up vertically. Would it be safe to take a cutting from each of the "main" branches? I know making a cutting puts strain on the plant so am unsure how many I can safely take at a time.

As they are now, there are 6+ cuttings I could take and the plants would still probably not be able to support it's weight, but at least it will spread out more.

Thanks

You can pretty much cut it down to half the size without any problems arrising. If you want to take more than that I'd suggest you trim the roots too: remove about half the rootsystem and replant.

Heh, I cut my 1,5 meter plant to 10 centimeter long stub and now its putting up new branches like no tomorrow. You can pretty much cut salvia how you like as long as you leave a few nodes (and preferably leaves) where it can grow from. Established rootsystem lets it grow damn quickly after cutting. I'm trying to make my sally as bushy as I can by cutting it often. :smile:

PS. I have not done any pruning to rootsystem and it seems quite fine that way. Most plants like root pruning now and then especially when rootbound to small pot, but I really never have done that.
