Salvia questions

[adamole]

Does anybody else find it to be really slow growing??

When making a cutting, and the end goes brown in the water, does this mean that there is no way of saving it, or can it still root????

[redgreenvines]

yes slow

change water for cutting after 2 days - no rot
brown sounds wrong
takes ~2weeks to root enough
little white rootlets come from the bottom.

I have had a real headache with my salvia. Bought a lovely cutting a bout 6 months ago and it really flourished. Was about 2 foot tall and really healthy.
But whenever I tried to take cuttings they have ALL failed. Either growing small pale leaves or growing all bunched up deformed looking leaves.
We moved house a month ago and all the leaves fell of the big plant...no regrowth yet :mad:

Oh god mmelody, you`ve had it bad, i cannot see any knew roots growing or any for that matter, so i am just praying that it will work...........
