When you recieve your Salvia Plant the first and most important thing to do is give it a good drink. These plants need moist soil all the time, so a good dose where the water is coming out of the bottom of the pot will be perfect.
Make sure you only alter it’s climate a little every day. Your plant is used to a good tropical atmosphere so it would like to stay that way, however remember it has been in a box for a couple of days so dont set it outside au natural’ just yet. A spot with a couple of hours of light sun will do fine, even inside by a good window.
It can take up to two weeks for your Salvia plant to reclimatize and show new growth. So be patient. After it is familiar with it’s surroundings it can grow up to 2 meters in a six month time period. Salvia plants grow quickly so they will need to be repotted every couple of months, unless you put them in a garden.
Major Points to a Salvia Plant
- Salvia loves indirect light.
- Salvia needs well fertilized moist soil.
Soon I will post another page for growing from clippings,which you should have in less than six months if your plant is healthy. Keeping your plant healthy should be easy as long as you keep the major points of growing Salvia in mind. Keep an eye out for pests! Scale insects and aphids can be easily treated with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. Otherwise the leaves tell you everything.
Signs that your plant is unhappy
- If the leaves or the edges of the plant begin to turn brown that means something isnt right (obviously). More than likely it’s not humid enough. For a fast revival your plant bring it in a bathroom where people shower frequently and then remember to mist it often.
- Yellow leaves means the plant wants more light, sometimes the older leaves are selfish and they block the sun for the younger leaves. At that point you should trim the older leaves and dry them out.
- If your plant is bending too early and it’s potted, rotate the pot so it will grow the other direction towards the sun.
