Why Did My Salvia Divinorum Plants
Die? Growing your own salvia divinorum can be one of the hardest things
that you could ever do. In order to successfully grow a salvia divinorum plant
to its fullest, you need to care for it like your baby.There are several
factors which could affect the health and life of sally and in your hands could
mean her life and death. It could also be a painful and sad scene seeing your
hard earned salvia divinorum plant dying. I will give some of the reasons why a
salvia plant failed to live its life to the fullest and the things that you can
do to help her extend her life to the max and get more benefits from her. - The thing that affects salvia
plants most is environment changing (if you moved her from a place to another).
Sometimes, it upsets her most and it could greatly affect her condition. Another
reason is over-fertilization and over lighting which could make her leaves turn
black. Over-fertilization can be a fatal situation for her, just sit back and
hope that she can survive that onslaught.
- Overwatering is also a bad thing
for her which could lead to undesirable results. The advised watering schedule
is about thrice a week in medium amounts. Make sure that the soil runs dry
before you water her again.
- Over exposure to sunlight can also
cause her to wither and die. The symptoms will turn her leaves yellowish until
she dies out. It is recommended that you not put her into direct sunlight
throughout the day. If you are placing salvia divinorum plants outdoor on a
pot, make sure that the place is in a cool shade.
- Sally can also die if she got root
bound. Make sure that you check her roots every 4th or 5thday
to make sure that it didn’t reached the pot’s edges yet. Salvia needs a plenty
of room to grow her roots, so repotting every two weeks is a must.
- If salvia is about a month old,
you should get ready for installing a support for her body as it will soon
overgrow itself that it sways down.
- Pruning is also a regular must
have if you want to keep your plant healthy. Remove things that look yellowish
and could affect other parts.
- A plant has also feelings. Just
like our pets, a regular greeting is also scientifically proven to help improve
the growing plant’s health. If treated without care, love and affection, you
might see her leaves wither or if compared to a plant full-loved, there will be
a huge difference in all aspects.
Having enough attention and proper caring of a salvia
divinorum plant is a must have to prevent her from dying. However, there are a
lot of methods that you can employ to maintain her legacy like gathering some
cuttings from her. The cuttings can grow easily as salvia divinorum mainly
reproduces in this way. Also do not throw a dead salvia divinorum plant right away;
there are some instances that a “dead plant” wasn’t really dead at all. |
