Hi! I´m new here. I´m from Argentina. I need some help with my Salvia plant.

Just bought it a few weeks ago, and it is looking very sad by the day. I started having it insde my apartment, but it didn´t look any good and now I´m trying to have it outside to see if it improves.

Would appreciate any help you could provide! I´m worried it´s about to die.

See pictures attached (the one in the white pot was during the first days it arrived).

Thanks!!!!

Salvia can be pretty finnicky. She really hates being transplanted, and soil moisture is critical to stay on top of. Damp enough to continually draw water, but dry enough to never struggle for air exchange.

The best next steps would be to stay on top of soil care and stay on top of sunlight exposure. They're mostly shade loving plants, and only need a couple hours of sun in the AM before the temps get too hot in direct light.
 
Also, not sure where your humidity is sitting, but 50% is pretty much optimal for growth. 15-27*C for a temperature range.
 
Salvia does not like too bright lighting. It doesn't spit direct sunlight, so it's good to keep Salvia under a white canopy.
In general, this is an unpretentious plant, the only thing that it does not like is the overwatering of the soil (it is better to water less often and wait for complete drying) and direct sunlight.
Even the heat is not as terrible as direct sunlight and overwatering of the soil.
Salvia is a very tenacious plant though.
So don't worry, just create the conditions I described above.
 
Any teks or advice to grow Salvia Divinorum? I have three cuttings placed in a soil mixture:
Coconut coir
vermiculite
perlite
richsoil+compost (blackcow Soil/compost)
bloodmeal

There are a few black spots and leaves are falling off, but I thought it might be due to initial transplant and shock

I currently have all three cuttings in a decent diy terrarium. I will be transplanting them once they are healthy and sturdy enough to make it into an indoor grow tent:

Please give any feedback, knowledge resources, teks, or personal advice to help get me going in the right direction. Also, I am a new member and would like to know if there are directions on uploading pictures because I would like to add some pictures of my cuttings to give visualization of their status if possible. Thank you
