Salvia divinorum, commonly known as Diviner's Sage, is a perennial herb in the Lamiaceae family. Native to the cloud forests of Oaxaca, Mexico, it is traditionally used by the Mazatec people for its psychoactive properties. The plant prefers subtropical climates and can grow up to 1 meter tall.
Salvia divinorum thrives in moderate temperatures and high humidity. It prefers bright, indirect light and should be watered regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. The plant can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it is protected from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
土壌
Salvia divinorum prefers well-draining loam soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be kept evenly moist but not waterlogged. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.
肥料
A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 can be applied during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth.
植え替え
Repot Salvia divinorum every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its current container. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its old pot, shake off excess soil, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.
伝搬
Salvia divinorum can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings from healthy, non-flowering stems and place them in water or moist soil. Keep the cuttings in a warm, humid environment until roots develop, then transplant them into individual pots.
剪定
Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape and size of Salvia divinorum. Trim back leggy or overgrown stems to encourage bushier growth. Prune during the growing season, avoiding periods of dormancy or stress.
毒性
Salvia divinorum is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, it contains psychoactive compounds and should be handled with care. Avoid ingestion unless under the guidance of a knowledgeable practitioner.
追加
Salvia divinorum is sensitive to extreme temperatures and should be protected from frost. It can benefit from occasional misting to maintain high humidity levels. Regularly check for pests such as spider mites and aphids, and treat promptly if detected.
