Salvia Gardening

For someone looking to begin growing salvia divinorum, the first thing to remember is that buying seeds is a very very bad idea. Salvia plants rarely produce very few seeds even when it does flower but no seeds have ever been observed on plants in the wild. One can manually germinate the plants but, that takes much care and attention for seeds that rarely ever take root. Less than 1% will grow into an adult plant.

Instead of growing from seeds, the adult plant will droop onto the ground and the stem will break off at a node and the resulting segment will take root on it's own. Most salvia plants are clones.

For this reason, the best way to start growing it would be to buy a couple live plants and clone them or allow them to clone themselves naturally. FreshSalvia sells live plants that will arrive well rooted in soil, guaranteed to be live on delivery. After it’s postal ride in it’s oversized planter box all you will need to do is take care of it.

Once your plant gets large enough that it starts drooping over you may then break it off at a node of the main stem. Place the clipping in water until roots begin to form. Change the water daily to prevent root rot.

Once you decide to harvest some leaves, here's the directions on how to make a quality concentrate with it.

Those plants are only available for a limited time so get yours while supplies last and while it's still legal!
