Does anyone know what causes parts of Salvia Divinorum leaves to turn black as the plant grows?
Too Much Water, Too Cold, not humid enough?

Plant is in a pot of plain dirt, no nutes. Lit by partial sun

Your plant will be ok.

[Cubensis420]

yeah it should survive. but you should look into what portion of nutes you should add according to how old the plant is. it WILL make your salvia danker. stonger plant makes more leaves also. which is what your looking for. happy plants :cacti:!

I have some cuttings that are showing the same spots. Also in potting soil and in a sunny window. What nutes should be used for newly potted cuttings. Then well established. Is foliar feeding the way to go?
BTW i plan on moving them out doors in a couple of weeks, would four or five hours of direct sunlight be to much or not enough.
Thanks

Yeah, I know it's a healthy plant and will survive. Just wondered if anyone knew the reason for the dark spots

[bassplar99]

Also curious about the same questions Chaos has. I am in the same boat.

[doobydoobydoo]

LMFAO, I got the same thing happening... Very oddness. Not sure. I leeched the soil in some pots and started nutes fresh again at low levels. Maybe it's spring shocking them into something. I don't remember if they did this last year or not... didn't have as many going.

The spots I'm getting are just like dryish spots. Sorta looks like mold, but dry, nothing really bad there. I've had some lose a few leaves, but they're all getting new growth on them. I also checked for bugs, nutting...



I'm not misting my plants at all, are any of you misting the leaves? What sorta humidity levels? Maybe they're drying out slightly at those spots gearing up for spring/summer growth? Really not sure, but I have similar happening.

[doobydoobydoo]

I did see something in the marijuana plant stress/trouble guide thing if I recall now... had similar effects on pot leaves due to not enough P during the veg cycle. From N-P-K. Often looks like mold, but is not.

Perhaps these are all trying to shoot out new roots and new growth (I mean, cuttings, well definately!) and are lacking in P?

Not sure, but just thowing a theory out there.

[doobydoobydoo]

Here's some pics of a few leaves I have this occuring on as well...

New leaf growth doing ok, just a few of the older ones getting these spots...

kinda looks like insects to me,
maybe some kind of sucker ?

[Hippie3]

without a community of people who know how to properly grow salvia your not going to really get a straight anwser

wtf ?
plenty here know how to grow sally.

where did you get seeds?

you seem to be the one without knowledge of sally,
else you'd know
there's no such thing as viable sally seeds.
:lol:

i know you are trying to be helpful
but really,
if you lack expertise
please refrain from just tossing out
the first idea that enters your mind.
let others who know speak,
while you watch, listen and learn.

[rocketman]

i agree with the insect theory.

[procell]

Nope, no insects on the leaves, I just checked with a magnifying glass. It must be due to some enviromental issue such as stress, temp, humidity, or over/under water.

[Hippie3]

can't even spell nutrients.
i told you to stop spouting off
but you would not listen.
rip cisco.

Inspected mine with a 30x scope, no visable bugs either... hmm




I was having issues with my tap water and chlorine. I dunno why, but in the past month or two, it just is terrible. I had posted a thread/post about letting my water sit now before using it on anything like rooting cuttings etc. I won't even drink water from the tap anymore without filtering it. Never used to be a problem at all. I'm wondering if this chlorine boost in the tap water could lead to causing these burns on the leaves? Since I've been letting the water sit and the chlorine smell evap, no more problems, strong root growth, etc. Dunno if they're related or just coincidences though.


Are you using tap water or bottled water or filtered water to water these? Anyone... These should be in diff parts of the country if I recall, so water shouldn't be the same all over I would think...

[Hippie3]

are you misting the leaves then with fresh tapwater too procell ?
are these indoors or out ?
any foliar feeding ?
