My First Salvia Plants

[stoney7713]

No ferts yet, other then what they are growing in, 50/50 miracle grow potting soil and perlite

As an added note, they seem to be getting use to this humid southern Indiana weather..... WOW its been bad lately

I'll pick up some fish emulsion next weekend.....

Oh yeah don't forget these guys get used aquarium water, some good nutrients in there... lol

True- aquarium water has nutrients and such- but not as good as fish emulsion...

Well I've got my plants acclimated to the humidity in my home, only problem is I think all the leaves they had when I got her are goners.

Other then that I've got new leaf growth that looks great, I fert them for the first time yesterday, with fish emulsion.  I sprinkled a little bit of blood meal around the outside rim of the pot last week. 

My other question is since I have such a large area with no nodes on my small plant, when I repot if I bury part of that stem do you think it would root along the stem giving me a better root system?  or maybe I should try the http://www.salviasource.org/forum/cultivation/layering-method-by-baracs/0/ on the stem first?

I know I got awhile before I need to repot, just thinking ahead....

There's about 6 inches between the soil and leaves(crappy cell phone pic)

I wold just leave it with the roots you have, to prevent stem rot from forming.
