Salvia roots. When to transplant? How?
« on: October 05, 2016, 10:31:01 PM »
Should I cut off the lower stem without any roots or plant it too?

I'd say cut it. Beyond that, it's looking good. Should be fine to plant whenever.

Nice work!  8)

Thanks! I really appreciate it. She got brown at the tip of the plant so I gently plucked it and under it was new green microscopic leaflets forming. I may let her go for another day or two then plant in some soil. Time to find a big enough pot now  ;D

@Leopardgecko44

I realize im late to this thread but im wondering, did you cut the cutting above or just below a node at the bottom of that cutting?
I always go just below a node and I have about a 90% success rate. Ive noticed that if you cut just below a node the roots show up pretty quick and get nice and thick.

Either way I hope shes doing well.
