Growing conditions

light: Full sun, 6-8 hours of direct light per day. Shade will cause long growth and less fragrant leaves. Indoors - south window.

Irrigation: Moderate - water when the top layer (2-3 cm) is dry. Drought-resistant! Less watering is better than too much. Reduce in winter.

ground: Well-drained, sandy or loamy. Recommended pH: 6.0-7.0. Does not tolerate wet soil! Add perlite to improve drainage.

temperature: Ideal 15-21°C. Relatively resistant to cold (down to -6°C) and heat. Evergreen in most areas. In cold areas - cover in winter.

elk: Minimal! Light fertilization once in the spring is sufficient. Overfertilization will affect the taste and smell of the leaves.

Common problems

💧 Root rot

The most common problem! Caused by overwatering. Ensure perfect drainage and let the soil dry out.

🍂 Yellow leaves

Usually from overwatering or lack of drainage. Check that the soil is not too wet.

🦠 Powdery Mildew

White powder on the leaves. Ensure good ventilation and avoid watering on the leaves.

🌱 Stunted and sparse growth

Lack of light or pruning. Prune in spring and move to a brighter location.

Professional tip

Medicinal sage is a "captain" of the herb garden - tough, forgiving and rewarding! The secret to a healthy plant is pruning in the spring: cut back about a third of the plant to encourage dense growth and prevent clumping. Unlike other herbs, as the leaves grow - the flavor intensifies! Harvest liberally, leaving enough leaves for growth. The plant reaches its peak in 3-4 years - after that it is worth renewing with cuttings.
