Salvia cutting - Bigger & Stronger!

Salvia divinorum (ska maria pastora) was discovered by the Mazatec Indians. The shamans of the Mazatec tribe used this holy medicine to induce a trance. In this trance they could travel through the unconsciousness of the patient to find the source of a disease.

It’s very difficult (almost impossible) to grow this magical plant from seeds, so if you want to cultivate your own Salvia plant you have to start with a cutting. The cuttings we offer are shipped in strong, plastic tubes. The roots of the cutting are placed in agar media within the tube. This agar media contains all the needed nutrients.

Wasson & Hofmann strain.

Usage

This Salvia cutting needs a larger growing habitat than the tube it is delivered in. So after receiving this cutting you have to replant it directly. For this you need a jar, a transparent plastic bag (a zip bag works well) and some soil.

Take the cutting from the tube and remove the agar (gel) completely from the roots with somewhat warm water.
Remove also the lower leaves.
Put the cutting with the roots into the soil, and water lightly.
Then put the plastic bag over the container to increase humidity. Tighten the bag with a rubber band and place the plant in a warm (20 ° C) and light place, but not in the sun! To remove the bag once every 3-4 days and spray the plant is the best way to keep it moist. After about one week you will notice new growth.
After three weeks the plant is growing well. Now you can choose to keep the plant in a moist environment ("humidity tent") or to slowly harden the plant into 'living room' conditions. This can be done by punching 1 or 2 holes in the bag each day. This way you gradually bring down the humidity. When black edges appear on the leaves this is often due to a (too) low humidity. In the beginning the new growth is often thin. By topping the plant a stronger and bushier plant can be obtained.

“Received it around 17th of June (check my last response).
The plant is realy growing fast. Since ive put it in the ground, it has gained 4 extra leaves and it has grown around 4 centimeters.
Adjusting it to livingroom conditions went fine. Opening up the plastic bag more every day. The plastic bag is now gone and the plant receives full sunlight for a few hours every day.
Keep the soil wet and it will grow incredibly fast. ”

“The little plant arrived in perfect condition, in the glass tube. All leaves were perfectly green and healthy. Potted it 2 days ago, still looking good! Used bonsai soil, which is a little richer in nutricion than usual potting soil, seems to work good. Hope all will work out well. Great product Azarius!”

“Received it yesterday, in the morning. Followed the manual here on the website. After putting it in soil, it started to droop a bit.
This morning i was very happy to see it was standing upright again. Tough little plant, nice job Azarius, great delivery!”
