My small collection

Here's my small collection.

A Datura Stramonium plant which I grew from seed. It has 1 flower about to open
and 6 more small buds. How do i get seeds? Do i have to pollinate it?
Self-pollination?

I ordered 2 salvia cuttings and 1 Adhatoda Justicia cutting from france (see my post on first page for supplier info Welcome to the DMT-Nexus)
which arrived within 3-4 days from order and are doing very well.
The Adhatoda is growing massive leaves that are longer then the plant itself.

Then I have 2 small (about 40cm) Heavenly Blues that are waitng to be repotted.

How long should the roots of my salvia cutting (accidental cutting) be before i plant
it in soil? Plant is about 1cm with two small leaves and one large. The longest outshooting
root is about 3cm. (see bottom picture)

I would have grown some other plants but my seeds (from kt botanicals) were seized by customs and just last week
I got a letter from the police saying that I had been charged with narcotics! =(

... but at the end of the letter they dropped all charges due to insufficient manpower, yay! =)

Those morning glories are begging for a re-pot. Put them in the biggest pot you can find - you'll need a lot of space for trellis/canes for it to climb up, and it's root system can get pretty massive.

No need to pollinate datura. The seed pod should appear a few days after it's flowered.

Your tiny salvia cutting is ready to plant now. But before you plant it, remove that one large leaf. It will only slow down the growth of the plant – most of the plants energy will go into sustaining that large leaf rather than in producing new leaves.

What is the best soil mix for a salvia cutting?
At home I have some potting soil, some fertile soil, perlite and vermiculite.

Large container with whichever mix holds the most water--the less perlite, the better, IME.

Those other two Salvias look like they should have been potted on while ago.
