Post by: oriky on June 21, 2015, 10:10:38 PM

Im with Roze so far that independent from what she is used to, a microclimatw closer to the original one is always better and will increase her chances. Obviously: If she grows a leaf in humidity chamber and you want her to keep that leaf she must be hardened off again. Personally I would try a dome but make sure the humidity doesnt go all the way 90+ but maybe a constant 70 or 80.

From my limited experience growing salvia; that is just environment shock. I would not place the salvia in a humidity dome and leave it at its growing location. The new leaves will be acclimated to your environment/humidity. That being said I have killed my last salvia due to excessive shock as I put it outside in the summer when I first got it in the mail.
