Salvia
Divinorum Growing instructions.
Your salvia divinorum cuttings with roots are coming
bare-root and will have to be planted in the next couple
of days. When you receive them they should be put into
individual cups of pure water (distilled is best) to
allow the roots to adjust. You will also need some kind
of humidity tent at first until they become acclimated
to their new home. The easiest way to achieve proper
humidity is to simply place a clear plastic bag over
the cutting and fan out daily. You may be surprised
to see some with far more roots than others, or much
longer. It is impossible for me to control the amount
of roots on a cutting, some just root better than others.
That said, these are all large vigorous cuttings and
will grow very well provided they are cared for. Usually
rooted cuttings will have roots long enough to plant
right away, but if you think they could be longer or
that they need more time to adjust feel free to grow
them out for a few days in distilled water before planting.
An average of 1 inch long roots is a good time, I have
not noticed shorter or longer to be a problem. Make
sure the soil is very well draining. The plants can
slowly be weaned off of the humidity and acclimated
to other environments. The best organic fertilizer for
salvia is fish emulsion. If organic is not an option
start fertilizing very low with a general all purpose
fertilizer and try Miracid once in a while since Salvia
D is an acid loving plant. B1 nutrients found in Kelp
extracts are excellent for general plant health and
for combating any stress, especially early in the life
of the plant. Please feel free to reply to this email
with any questions or concerns, nothing makes me happier
than helping others allow this plant to thrive. I know
that growing this plant will bring much joy and satisfaction
as it has to me. Please be aware that Salvia Divinorum
may be considered poisonous and no part of these plants
are meant to be consumed in any way.
Best
wishes with the plants!
