Our Salvia rooted plants are ready to plant into potting mix. They grow into big plants in only a few months.
Salvia divinorum can be grown indoors in any climate. It makes a beautiful house plant. The plant may look wilted
when you first receive it since it has just finished a journey through the postal system.
When initially receiving your Salvia divinorum plant, lay the plant it on its side in damp soil with the roots buried.
Planting in this way helps insure that the plant will not dry out (since it’s laying on the damp soil), which they are
very prone to after shipping. It also will cause the plant to send up more branches, creating more of a bush
instead of just one long stalk.
Salvia will tell you when it is getting too dry: its leaves will droop. Be sure to water it at the first sign of mild
drooping--do not let the plant become limp. The soil should drain well but should be kept moist. Just make sure
the soil stays damp. The rule for growing Salvia divinorum is: Less water more often is better than more water
less often. If planting Salvia in pots, make sure the pot is large enough to allow the plant to grow well. Although
your available space will limit possible pot size, use the biggest pot that is practical. It must have drainage holes.
Placing gravel (or broken up pieces of crockery) in the bottom of the pot will help promote drainage and thus
discourage root-rot. Most commercial potting soil will work well. Adding Vermiculite® or Perlite® to the potting
soil is helpful but not essential.
Salvia will need fertilizer. Any good general-purpose fertilizer will work. Fish emulsion is a good organic fertilizer
choice, but because it has a very unpleasant odor, it is suitable only for outdoor use.
Salvia divinorum is a semi-tropical perennial. That means that it can grow year after year, but only if it is not
exposed to freezing temperatures. It is a green plant with large leaves and a distinctive thick, hollow, square
green stem. It can grow several yards high if conditions are favorable. When it grows high enough, the branches
will bend, or break, and may root if they come in contact with moist earth. Although Salvia divinorum can flower
under natural lighting conditions, it almost never sets seed that will sprout. So the plant is almost always
propagated by cuttings. The leaves are oval, weakly notched (serrated) and can be quite large (up to 9 inches in
length). They are usually emerald green, but under some conditions, may be yellow-green or even yellow. They
are covered with a fine coating of extremely short hairs (trichomes), giving the leaves a satin like velvety
appearance in certain lights. The plants grow best in partial shade, in well-watered, but well-drained, soil. The
roots must not be kept constantly soaked, or root-rot will set in and kill the plant.
You can grow Salvia divinorum outdoors all year round if you live in a humid semi-tropical climate, with well-
watered, but well-drained soil, with a high humus content. If you live in a colder or drier climate, you can still grow
Salvia outdoors, weather permitting. But you may have to do it with some care, making sure it is protected from
frost, watered frequently, and misted when humidity is low. Salvia will not live through freezing or drought. It can be
grown outdoors in pots which can be brought indoors when it is cold (below 40 degrees Fahrenheit). That way it
can be grown outdoors in summer and indoors in winter.
