Soil for Salvia plants-

Organic Potting Mix (Compost)
Bark and Twigs
Coconut coir (as a soil admixture and a top dressing)
Perlite
Pumice (at the bottom for drainage)



Water when the top of the soil becomes dry (Once a week at the least). Mist often in addition to watering (Bi-weekly at the least).

Use fish emulsion, seaweed extract and other organic fertilizers 1-3 times per month during the growing season.

Salvia divinorum requires diffused, mottled indirect sunlight and part shade for most of the day, but likes a bit of direct sunlight at dawn and/or dusk or in cooler periods or climates.

Effects from Salvia divinorum are best obtained by picking leafs directly from the plants, quickly preparing and immediately chewing 7-33 large leafs.

To harvest Salvia divinorum snap large leaves off at the base of the leaf near the main stem of the plant.

Remove the main vein in the stem and then rolls the leaf halves into a "cigar", chew this "cigar" and hold the chew wad of leafs in your mouth for about an hour.

Propagating (also known as cloning) Salvia divinorum is very simple. Cut off a branch (8-14inchs long is ideal) just above the node and submerge half of the cutting in a clear bottle filled with water. It will take 1-3 weeks to root depending on your environment.
