The salvia is coming along alright in the past couple of months ive had it, I have one in the ground, 3 in pots, one little one in one of those and a cutting. From what I was told they dont enjoy too much sunlight, one is underneath a buch of jungle in a gulch like area. It seems like the perfect place because of the shade, never getting total direct sunlight for more than an hour inbetween trees. my other plants get sunlight a little more in the morning and evening being in an open work shed. The bugs seem to be at the potted ones more, and seems to hinder growth yes. It's about time these plants are rootbound though too. It seems to do just fine with the frequent rain, might be really good for it.

ahaha... salvia eating bugs...
