Diseases

Sage is a medicinal plant and is therefore considered an excellent insecticide. However, it is susceptible to some diseases.

Therefore, you need to take certain actions to save the flower after detecting signs of disease.

1- Root rot 2- Rust

Interestingly, parasites rarely infect sage. If for some reason they decide to feast on it, then they will leave after a while. You don't have to do anything special.

Thus, sage is an excellent perennial plant that can delight with its inflorescences for up to 8 years in the southern regions. In other regions of the country, it is used for no more than two years, after which a new one is planted. It is possible to plant it as seedlings, but it is better to immediately plant it in open ground. With proper care, sage will produce large and beautiful buds that will bloom for quite a long time.

Sage: growing seedlings and care

Overgrown salvia seedlings are difficult to pick: the stems become thin and break easily

The flower needs 8-10 hours of abundant lighting. Especially in the morning and evening. Even on a south-facing window, seedlings suffer from a lack of sun and need artificial lighting.

Advice. If the sage seedlings stretch out a lot, it’s not a problem. Try cutting the stems and placing them in water (you can add Kornevin). There is a good chance that they will soon acquire their own roots.

It is better to water through a tray so that the roots do not suffer from waterlogging.

If the salvia has come up in a thick brush, pull through. It is important that each seedling has a feeding area of ​​at least 5 square centimeters. Or, in the phase of two true sheets, they make a pick - they seat the kids in separate cups.

Video on how to properly pick sage seedlings:

At a young age, sage is very sensitive to cold and draft winds. At temperatures below +20 degrees, growth stops, and at +15 degrees, the leaves begin to droop.

The secret secret to getting a spreading bush is early pinching. If this is not done, the plant will become long and bloom prematurely. However, you will not achieve volume and beautiful shape.

The top is usually removed above the 6th leaf or when seedlings from seeds stretch to 8-10 centimeters. By the way, the cut part can also be easily rooted in water and then transferred to a pot.

Growing a plant

Despite the variety of types of sage and the differences between them, there are requirements for cultivation that unite all varieties:

• plants develop more actively on light sandy loam soils;
• prefer normal soil acidity (pH 6.5);
• perennial species need shelter and spring pruning.

This plant can be grown in three ways: from seedlings, sowing seeds in the ground, or dividing bushes. If you want to grow sage at home, the seeds should first be soaked in Energen solution, which is a growth stimulant. To do this, dilute five drops of the drug in a quarter liter of water. Place the seeds in a cotton bag and soak in the solution for a day. After this, dry them a little and sow them in small separate containers, one seed at a time. Experienced gardeners recommend using peat pots.

In spring, germinated seeds can be immediately sown in open ground. First dig up the selected area, make grooves and moisten them a little. Seeds are sown to a depth of no more than three centimeters. The distance between them is left about fifteen centimeters. If sage is planted in late autumn, dry seeds must be used. Although this plant is not demanding on the composition of the soil, gardeners note that it develops more actively on well-moistened and fertile soil.

Decorative species are photophilous. This should definitely be taken into account when choosing a landing site.

How to grow sage in the country?

Growing this crop is not a difficult task, which even a novice gardener can cope with. Sage will be a wonderful and effective decoration for your summer cottage, especially if you choose a place in the center of the front garden.

The soil for planting needs to be light and fertile, and the pH level should be 5.5-6.5. Sage requires sandy or rocky soil and is not recommended for planting in clay soil.

How to choose a place?

1. This southern plant loves direct sunlight, under which its growth will be intense.
2. The plant will also grow in shaded areas, but it will bloom profusely only in well-lit areas.
3. It will be useful to plant sage in apiaries, since the plant is honey-bearing and attracts bees. Thanks to this proximity, the taste and medicinal characteristics of honey are improved.

Who should I plant next door to?

Sage gets along well with other plants:

• But it is definitely not recommended to plant it in a place where plants of the Yasnotkova genus previously grew.
• Due to the presence of a specific aroma that repels pests, gardeners often plant the plant near garden crops, but proximity to legumes, potatoes, cabbage and onions will have a more favorable effect on its flowering.
• It is not recommended to plant the plant after Lamiaceae crops.

Time to board

• The period from late March to mid-April will be favorable for growing.
• However, it can also be planted in May.
• In autumn, before wintering, sage is sown only in regions with a temperate climate.

How to grow sage from seeds and seedlings?

Regardless of the type of crop, it has the same growing season, flowering time and life cycle.

Planting sage is possible through seedlings or seeds:

Seedlings from seeds:

• favorable period: end of February - beginning of March;
• planting occurs in containers filled with a universal mixture;
• planting depth - 1 cm;
• Covered with glass, place the container in a lighted place;
• remove the glass as soon as the first shoots emerge;
• sunrises thin out;
• hardening of plants by taking them outside or to a well-ventilated place for 1.5 hours 10 days before moving them into open ground;
• planting in the flowerbed occurs at the end of May.

Sowing in open ground:

• It is recommended to plant from March to early April or, before wintering, in the fall;
• the soil is pre-fertilized with compost, humus or manure diluted in water;
• seeds are sown under film to a depth of 2 cm; in May, planting without shelter is possible;
• the distance between the rows is at least 50 cm, which can be reduced to 35-40 cm upon the appearance of the first sunrises;
• landing in one place is possible for 7-8 years in a row.

Plant propagation

Vegetative propagation also occurs:

• cuttings are carried out from late spring to early summer;
• preparation of cuttings in the form of a cut middle part of young plants or the top;
• The shoots are first rooted in the greenhouse for 2-3 weeks, after which they are planted in open ground;
• The division of the bush occurs in late summer and early autumn. To do this, the bush is dug out of the ground and its upper part is cut off with a shovel or knife. The root system must be treated with a fungicide.
• Covering with spruce branches or film for the winter is mandatory for young plants.

Care

Even a beginner in floriculture can take care of sage: the plant is undemanding in care. It only needs fairly infrequent watering, regular loosening of the soil around the bush, weeding and fertilizing. Every year, in early spring, organic fertilizers must be applied to the plant. Judging by the reviews of gardeners, liquid formulations are most suitable for this purpose - Agricola-Vegeta, Effekton-O.

In summer it is necessary to feed the bush twice. Sage can be grown in the same place for no more than six years. A plant older than four years should be rejuvenated. This procedure is usually carried out in early April. Shoots should be cut at a height of fifteen centimeters from the soil. This simple operation will make your plants more branchy and flowering more active.

General information

There are about 700 species of this culture in nature. The plant's homeland is the Mediterranean, however, it is also common in our latitudes. Sage grows in the wild and in gardens as an ornamental and medicinal crop.

However, due to their low winter hardiness, ornamental varieties are grown as annuals, while medicinal sage can be grown for five years.

If a gardener sets himself the goal of decorating his plot with a beautiful and useful ornamental plant, sage will become for him the very crop that will transform his garden, giving it color and bright colors.

Collection of raw materials

Sage is harvested twice a season. The first collection takes place in early June. It is at this time that essential oil accumulates in the leaves. The second time sage is harvested is in September. The herb is dried in the open air, spreading it on a cloth or paper in a thin layer.

You can dry it in an oven or in an electric dryer at a temperature of +30-35 °C. At higher temperatures, essential oils evaporate. The raw materials retain their beneficial properties for one and a half years. The harvested grass should be stored in canvas or paper bags.

Sage propagation

Sage can be propagated using bush division, vegetatively, cuttings and seeds.

Dividing the bush should be done in the spring. After young shoots appear, the plant should be dug up and divided into several parts using a disinfected pruner, cutting the root system into parts with growth points. After this, the resulting cuttings need to be planted in the garden bed.

Vegetative propagation is carried out in early summer. To carry it out, you need to bend the shoot to the ground, secure it with a bracket and sprinkle it with earth. After two months, the shoot will have its own roots and then it can be separated from the adult plant.

To carry out cuttings, it is necessary to cut off a viable shoot with four buds. The leaf blades on the upper buds should be left, but on the fourth, the leaf blades should be removed and buried in the ground. The cuttings need to be rooted in a substrate of perlite and humus to a depth of 10 centimeters, inserting the shoot obliquely.

After this, the soil needs to be moistened and the container with the cuttings covered with film. The plant should be ventilated daily and moistened as needed. After a month, when the root system appears, the plant can be planted in open ground.
