- What should you pay attention to?
It is important to protect our seedling, especially during the first year, from the cold and frost of winter. You have to cover the base with straw, pieces of wood or bark, or you can simply bring it indoors. After that, to prevent sage from being attacked by parasites and rotting, we can create natural fungicides using baking soda and water.
- What is the soil and climate suitable for the plant?
As we said, sage needs direct contact with the sun so it loves mild climates. If we plant sage in a vegetable garden we must avoid places full of shaded areas. At home, however, we must try not to place it towards the north side, therefore placing it on a balcony or on the windowsill. Sage is not afraid of drought and is very resistant to cold if it does not last for a long time. In addition to this, it prefers a calcareous substrate but it is possible to grow it in any soil. It cannot tolerate clayey soil and water stagnation.
Now that you know all the secrets of sage you just have to get involved. Good work.
