How To Grow Salvia Divinorum From Seeds

Salvia divinorum rarely produces seeds and when it does those seeds are usually not viable. If you are able to obtain salvia divinorum seeds, plant the seeds 0.08-0.1 inch deep in any quality potting mix. Water the soil using a mister in order to prevent the dislodging of the seeds. Keep the soil moist but not soggy. The seeds will germinate in two to four weeks.
  

How To Grow Salvia Divinorum From Cuttings

Cutting

1. Find a node on the plant that is 2 - 8 inches away from the end.
2. Cut just below a node.　
    

Rooting

1. Put each cutting into a glass of water. Use a separate glass for each cutting so that if one rots it doesn’t spoil the water and kill the others.
2. Each glass should be filled about 1.5 - 2 inches deep.
3. Leave the glasses indoors in diffuse light and add a little water as necessary to maintain the water level.
4. In about two or three weeks you should see some roots starting to form.
    

Transplanting

1. When the cuttings have several roots 0.25 - 0.75 inches long, they should be planted in pots of loose potting soil and watered well so that the soil is moist but not soggy.
2. Keep the plants in a moist environment for a few days after transplanting to keep them from wilting. Cover the plants with a large clear glass jar or clear plastic bag supported by a wire cage.
