How to grow sagePot soil selectionWhen growing sage, you can transplant it into a pot when it grows to a certain size, usually when the plant has 2-3 leaves. It should be noted that sage likes alkaline soil, and calcareous soil is more suitable, but ordinary garden soil is also acceptable. You can choose loose and breathable soil and mix it with some compound fertilizer as base fertilizer. Light and temperatureSage prefers a warm growing environment and requires sufficient light to grow well. Basically, sage needs to be given sufficient light, but it needs to be shaded in the summer, and the light needs to be increased during the sage seedling period to prevent it from growing too tall. During the growth period of sage, a certain growth temperature needs to be maintained, not too high or too low. If the temperature is too low, the leaves of sage will turn yellow, and if the temperature is too high, the flowers and leaves of sage will be small, and the plant will grow poorly or even stop growing. Watering and fertilizingSage prefers a drier climate, but not too dry. When the sage plants are short of water, they need to be watered in time. Of course, in rainy seasons, the water must be drained in time to avoid waterlogging. Fertilization should be reasonable, which is beneficial to the growth of sage plants. During the growth period, you can apply some thin liquid fertilizer and frequently apply some fertilizer rich in growth elements. Sage cultivation precautionsReproduction methodThe propagation of sage, including sowing propagation, cutting propagation and division propagation, is relatively simple. Pests and diseasesThe more common diseases and pests of sage include powdery mildew, stem rot, rust and leaf spot, and the main insect pests are whiteflies, scale insects, aphids and red spiders. Pruning and toppingBasically, in order for sage to grow well, it needs to be pruned and topped frequently to promote new branches. And you can prune the branches in time at the end of August after the sage blooms, so that it can bloom again in the fall. |
