You can either start propagating salvia from cuttings by placing them in water or by putting them in soil. If you opt for salvia cutting propagation in water, just put the cuttings in a vase and add a few inches (8 cm.) of water. After a few weeks, you'll see roots growing.

How do you take cuttings from Salvias?
To propagate salvia from cuttings, cut a piece of the hardwood from the old wood with 4 – 5 nodes showing. Nodes are the part of a plant stem from which leaves or roots emerge, often forming a slight swelling. Make sure you have a node near the bottom of the stem. Strip all the leaves from stems.
Can I propagate Salvias in water?
Some of the small leaved varieties can be cut between the nodes as their stems are still green enough at this stage. Once you've taken your cuttings, put them in water while you finish preparing all your cuttings ( this keeps them fresh).
How long do propagated cuttings take to root?
Rooting will generally occur in 3-4 weeks but some plants will take longer. When the roots are 1-2 inches long or longer the cutting is ready to be potted up. This plant has heavy rooting and is ready to be moved to a pot with potting soil.
What is the best time to propagate cuttings?
It's always best to take cuttings early in the morning, when the parent plant is still turgid, i.e. full of water. This guarantees the best chance of rooting.
How do you encourage the roots to grow from cuttings?
Let's get started
- Identify the location where you will snip your cutting from the main plant. ...
- Carefully cut just below the node with a clean sharp knife or scissors. ...
- Place the cutting in a clean glass. ...
- Change out the water every 3-5 days with fresh room temperature water.
- Wait and watch as your roots grow!
Do Salvias spread?
Some salvias often self-propagate, so you might find seedlings you can use in other parts of your landscape! Before flower buds have developed, take cuttings (remove stems) from vegetative (non-flowering) branches that are about 3 inches long.
Can sage grow from cuttings?
Summary: growing sage from cuttings

Does wormwood grow from cuttings?
How to propagate wormwood. Take 10–15cm-long cuttings of unflowered new growth in summer. Strip off the bottom half of the leaves, dip the end into a rooting hormone and place the cuttings into a pot of propagating sand. Rooted cuttings will be ready to plant out in about six months.
Can you put cuttings straight into soil?
Technically, you can transfer your cuttings to soil at any time. In fact, you can actually propagate directly into soil, however, it's much harder to do within your home. When you propagate in soil, you have to keep a good balance of soil moisture, air flow, and humidity.
Do cuttings need light to root?
Successful rooting of cuttings requires careful management of the environment, especially air and media temperature, humidity and light. ... Managing light is at least as important because inadequate light delays rooting while too much light can excessively increase leaf temperature and cause plant stress.
Is it better to propagate in water or soil?
Propagation for many plants is best done in potting soil, but some plants can be propagated in water. This is because they have evolved in an environment that allows it. ... However, they are still land plants and will do best if planted in soil over the long term.
