Just took a little cutting today from my mother plant (see her grow log http://www.salviasource.org/forum/grow-logs/bayrat's-1st-salvia-grow/0/). 

It is about 4 inches long.  I clipped the lower leaves and placed it in water to start rooting and will transplant in a few days just as I start to see root nubs.  It is far from the light and in a humidity chamber for the first week or so.

All I can say is, your plant looks great!

I love that little grow cave. What soil mix did you use to grow that large Salvia?

[Bayrat]

Thanks Paradoxic, the mother plant was bought from the same grower that supplies the SalviaSource.org shop.  Believe it or not I used cheap soil from the dollar store for it, STRAIT- no perlite added or anything.  I used MG organic for most of my cuttings since, but switched back to the dollar store stuff for this new grow to see if it was a fluke. 

I need to update this grow soon, I took pics and will post soon.  The new cutting was put in the $1 soil with mycorhize and is doing great so far.

MAN how old is your plant, and how did it get so bushy?!!!  It's amazing!

Thanks Bif, it's 3 months old now and even bigger than that pic now.  See her grow log-  http://www.salviasource.org/forum/grow-logs/bayrat's-1st-salvia-grow/0/

She puts out about a clone a week.
