Salvia Divinorum opens the door to new investigations about the human mind and how it reacts to certain inputs. The future may reveal that Salvia can help bring an individual to a state where he or she can remember more about past events, but for now, the appropriate applications for the herbal supplement are unknown. As more people buy Salvia, much is being found out about its affects on the human body. Many faithful salvia users hope that the extracts will help with mental illness of all sorts. From clinical depression, and simple stress relief, to spiritual awareness, and memory development, Salvia is a potential natural substitute to many pharmaceuticals that are known to negatively impact the overall health of some patients.

Guidelines to growing Salvia Divinorum

While it is do-able and worthwhile to grow your own, it can be a challenge for most people, especially if you're not born with a green thumb. There are a few significant factors you have to consider if you are thinking of growing Salvia Divinorum. Here are some of them below:
Location - These psychedelic plants love warm and humid surroundings and must not be exposed to freezing temperatures. Nonetheless, they can still be grown virtually anywhere once they become used to their environment. Ideal places to grow them include greenhouses, cool basements, sunlit windows, and an apartment with fairly dry air.However if you live in tropical climates you can grow it outdoors all year long that is with well-watered, but well-drained soil. Soil and watering- Most commercial soil mixes work fine with Salvia Divinorum. But the perfect soil mix is typically composed of a few organic matter, peat moss, perlite, vermiculite and a little sand. As far as watering, Salvia Divinorum will tell you when it is getting too dehydrated; its leaves will wilt. Immediately water when you see signs of mild wilting. During winter though, too much water will also damage them.
Fertilizing – Fertilizer is essential for Salvia Divinorum plants. Whichever good general-purpose fertilizer should work well. Fish emulsion is sometimes used as an organic fertilizer, but it has an extremely foul odor and suitable only for outdoor use. If you simply water and fertilize them like any other houseplant, they'll be fine. If your planting in pots make sure there is also enough room for the plant to grow,since it can be quite a large plant you might estimate that it's gonna get that way. Also make sure there are draining holes in the pot so your plants dont drown with water.
Pests- You may encounter some pests, such as whiteflies, slugs, caterpillars, aphids, scale insects and spider mites that can easily cause Salvia Divinorums leaves to curl and turn yellowish. Root and stem rot can be problems, as well as fungal spots on leaves. Scale insects and aphids can be eliminated with a cotton swab doused in isopropyl alcohol. Also, planting Salvia Divinorum in pots on an elevated deck or palette can lessen slug damage. Unfortunately, many bugs may still get by and harm your Salvia Divinorum plants; therefore, you need to constantly keep an eye on them and deal with any pests quickly to prevent an infestation.
Those guidelines above are only a few of the basic things you need to know when cultivating Salvia Divinorum plants. Of course, there are more complicated aspects and techniques in growing them, such as cloning, rooting and potting to name some. Learning these methods might be very tedious task but if you think you can make it, then go ahead and do so. Otherwise, Salvia Divinorum is readily available online and can be obtained from a reliable source.

How to grow Salvia Divinorum from a cutting

Starting a salvia plant is alot like starting a household fern. Your going to cut off a branch from another plant (from what I hear- and I dont know from testing or anything- it's way easier to grow it from another plants cuttings then to get it to grow from a seed). Okay so the branch when you cut it off it will need to be about 6 inches long with a leaf at the end. This shows that it was growing and has life. If it has any lower leaves then you can cut those off.Apparantly there is such a condition called stem rot so you need to make sure it's a clean cut and that it doesnt have some strangler piece hanging on.

How to grow Salvia Divinorum from a cutting

After you have your piece cut place it leaf up in a cup of water- just like you would a fern. Make sure you have a steady water supply- I would recommend using purifed water at the beginning if possible just so the chemicals in your water supply dont kill your baby Salvia Divinorum plant.
It usually takes a couple of weeks for the roots to really grow enough for soil, then you take them out of water and plant them in your planter that is about 3/4ths full of dirt-but around two inches deep. Again it's very important that your pot has holes in it for the water to drain out of so that it doesnt drownd.After that with proper watering and maybe some classical music your plant should be growing fine in no time.
I would like to form a unity of just people that believe in our individual freedoms. We should stand together to protect this beautiful plant! For more activity and news about Salvia check out Fresh Salvia
