Salvia Stalk Survival
If you're trying to root a Salvia divinorum stalk whose leaves have permanently wilted, or which has no leaves at all, don't give up too soon. This plant's stems are semi-succulent, and as long as they are given adequate humidity and light, they will attempt to push out axillary branches. It can take four weeks, or longer, before you see one or more tiny shoots sprouting from the old leaf axils. If all of the axillary buds happen to be dead, it's still conceivable that new, "adventitious'" buds may develop, most likely in places where healing-tissue has formed over  wounds.
Note: if your planted cutting seems to be gradually shrinking or shriveling-up, cautiously dig it up - the underground portion may be rotting away. In that case, trim off all of the decaying portion, wrap the cutting in thin damp tissue and keep it in a humid, well-lighted place a few days to encourage healing, then replant in new or different soil.
