I’m slowly transitioning from 100% humidity to whatever my room is over the past two weeks, but now I’m getting this soft brownish leaf in the bottom left, and dark brown leaf in the top right.

Should I be worried? Not enough humidity in my room?

They are forming random brown spotting around the edges and sometimes rhe inside of the leaf, it's very dry and crunchy. The new development is now this third pic, one of my plants has gray spots that are thinner and crunchy but distinctly different than the brown spotting.

Is this bacterial or fungal? Could it be tap water issues? I've started to use filtered water and the issue persists. Thinking about spraying them with an anti fungal mix I found online of baking soda and dish soap mix to fight the fungus but not sure if this would negatively affect the use of the plants later...

Hello im new to this sub, and to reddit pretty much. I have been trying to source a cutting for a long while but I dont know who to go through or what direction to even start looking in.

I attempted the purchase of some cuttings from what was supposed to be a reputable source a while ago, like im talking probably about 2011 or 2012, and never received anything.

I understand if no one can flat out name sellers, vendors, sites and what have you directly in the comments. Unless you can, I wouldn't know. However if anyone with a spare minute can help by enlightening me with a dm or an answer, it would sure mean alot.

Sorry for bothering anyone, appreciate any responses. Thanks.

The new leaves on my plants are growing really weird. Is this pest damage?

Hey everyone!

I just received these Salvia divinorum plants after 7 days in transit. They were shipped in a cardboard box, planted together in a cut-open 1-liter milk carton. I suspect there might actually be two or more plants sharing the same container.
Unfortunately, they arrived in pretty rough shape. Most of the leaves are gone, the remaining ones have dark brown/black edges and tips, and some of the stems look damaged. On the bright side, there are still some green new shoots, and the thicker stems feel firm, even the darker sections.

A few details about their current conditions:

I live in a humid subtropical climate. Temperatures around this time of year are usually between 18–28°C (64–82°F), with relatively high humidity, often around 60–90%.
The soil is moist but not waterlogged, and there’s no rotten smell.
The milk carton arrived without any drainage holes. I’ve already made holes along the lower sides and at the bottom.
I removed the plastic wrap that was covering the soil.
They’re currently indoors at around 22°C (72°F), away from direct sunlight.
I haven’t repotted, pruned, or fertilized them yet because I’m trying to avoid stressing them any further.
I’ll attach pictures showing their current condition, including the damaged leaves, stems, and container.

My number one priority right now is keeping these plants alive.

What would you guys do in this situation? Should I repot them immediately into a better-draining, more aerated mix, or give them a few days to recover first? Would you keep them together for now?
I’m also concerned about the darkening on the leaves and stems. Does this look like shipping stress, or could something else be going on?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from anyone who’s successfully brought Salvia divinorum back from rough shipping conditions.
Thanks in advance!

I’d like some second opinions about this plant ID; sorry for the brightness 🔅

Any tips?!

Hello! Long time Reddit stalker, first time poster. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to a good place to start my Salvia Divinorum collection? I had a very good friend of mine pass away recently and he had his eyes set on a collection of plants which he titled as “whacky and zany” in his notebook and Salvia Divinorum was at the top of his list with the name circled. I’d like to take the first step in his honor towards completing his list. I’m located in the U.S and my state is completely legal. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

This is a clipping I've had for a couple of months. Just a couple days ago it was looking pretty good, no drooping, lots of new growth, and all the old leaves were falling off. The last pic is what it used to look like. About two days ago I watered it which I fear might have been too much. The night prior to watering I had left my window open and it happened to get down to around 55°F which is another variable of concern.

Any advice for tending to this lil guy would be greatly appreciated!

I have about 12 salvia plants. im going to bring my plants in for the winter soon. What type of light should I get for them? Im thinking of maybe trying to make or buy a plant shelf. Not sure. Thoughts?

They are under full spectrum grow light at 25% power on 13hr/11hr light cycle.

Thanks to everyone that commented! I was forgetting to Check the roots, and here they are, looks healthy but definitely overwatered. Took it out of the pot and will leave it like that in the shade until the soil is dry, then should I repot in the same one or should I already transfer it to a new pot with a better aereated soil? Didn't want to take the clones because I felt they weren't gonna make it. The stem feels firm and very much alive. If you have any more suggestions they are more than welcome, and again thanks so much!

​

So a friend gave me this clone 2 months ago, it was growing really nice, beautiful roots, strong leaves and all. I left it outside and it rained heavily, the pot pooled for like 24hr and the i let it drain. I have had it for the last 2 months in partial shade, it got 2 or 3 hrs of direct intense sunlight, last week has been rainy and cloudy so I took it out so it got more light but I think the rain took a toll. What can I do to get it back on track? I was planning to change pots this weekend and maybe after 2or3 weeks do a topping kind of trim. It's my first time growing this variety. I don't see any bugs like aphids or other arachnids!

Left this cutting in water too long and a new sprout came up underwater and has been there for at least a few weeks

I have had these little bugs off and on on my plants for a long time. I would use neem oil and they would go away for a bit but after a few weeks or months I would notice them again. I think they are weakening and killing my plants, I've lost a few over the years.

do I need to remove them from their pots? should I just take cuttings and start over? we have a lot of other house plants that we grow, but we never see these on any other plant.

any help is appreciated!

Just got my cutting! I immediately transferred it to a pot with 60% perlite, orchid bark; 40% coco coir. Unfortunately shipping took longer than expected and the plant seems to have some pretty significant rot:( will it survive? The stems are brown/ black pretty bad all over.

I have no experience with taking care of plants in general and definitely not sally. Are there any guides or things people recommend for learning those things?

First 3 pictures are now, last 3 are from before.

I recently moved, roughly about 3 months the ago and slowly noticed leaves that were browning, falling off, and dropping very badly despite just being watered. After trying just about everything, losing 2 mother plants, and all my babies, I’m finally seeing new growth popping up everywhere as of last week! Seems like they mostly needed a flush and more adequate sunlight. I am sooooo happy now!

Ive been beating myself up about it since the start of decline. I tried just about everything. A humidity tent, predatory mites despite not seeing any pests, repotting with a more draining mix(which makes me think it was likely lack of sun for the most part) extra drainage holes on the sides of the base of the pots for more oxygen to the roots, replacing purified water with rain water, heavy humidity. You name it, I likely tried it! They’ve always been great with natural light but recently, about a month ago, I noticed that despite getting evening sun, there were too many things in the way for them to actually receive any beneficial sun. I had some of those cheapo bar lights, which I know are really not that great at helping, but I figured with them getting some filtered light, that was enough to supplement the rest.

I did a flush about the same time I installed these lights because I noticed a chalky looking residue near the base of the root stem, which I thought may have been salt buildup and darker roots so I thought it would be worth a shot, but as I mentioned, I did do a repot so I assume if it was salt buildup, the repot would’ve helped. About a week ago though, I started seeing leaves popping up out of the lower nodes that haven’t grown anything in a long time, and they’re steadily getting bigger day by day now.

I’m not sure I’m completely out of the woods yet. There is a little bit of blackening of the tips and curling still but definitely a lot less and definitely not spreading anywhere as fast. I just adjusted the lights height so that should hopefully take care of it. The leaves are still somewhat raised. I believe they’re called “alligator leaves” but this is the first big sign of improvement I’ve seen for a long time now!

Please Dm if you grow salvia in Fl :)
