Growing Salvia

This section will detail the process of growing Salvia plants, including growing salvia plants from clones and rooted pieces, details on the various strains of cuttings and seeds available, details on proper care and salvia cultivation techniques and information on harvesting the leaves and making extract.

Salvia plants are usually propagated from rooted cuttings taken from a mother plant. This is because the plant rarely, if ever, produces viable seed, and when it does they almost never grow. There are very few strains of S. divinorum available for sale on the web and they each represent one out of fewer than 10 unique genetic species.

Sage is a relatively easy plant to grow if it is given enough time and attention. Cultivating salvia is best done in a high humidity environment to grow in and often humidity tents are used, as well as plant misters, both handheld and manual and more elaborate automatic misting systems. Long days, indirect sunlight and warm temperatures are also preferred by the Mexican sage and will make it feel most at home. This section contains links to pages that deal with the different methods of propagating salvia divinorum from plant material other than seeds, the equipment commonly used to do so and common problems encountered during the propagation process.
