1. Basic information about Sagebrush

2. Key points for care of Sagebrush

1. Lighting

Sagebrush prefers a sunny environment and needs at least 4-6 hours of direct light every day. Insufficient light will lead to leggy plants, sparse leaves, and reduced ornamental value. When the temperature is high in summer, you can provide appropriate shade to avoid exposure to the sun.

2. watering

Sage grass is drought-tolerant, and watering should follow the principle of "prefer it to be dry rather than wet." Watering can be done once a week in spring and autumn, increase the watering frequency appropriately during high temperatures in summer, and reduce watering in winter. Be careful to avoid water accumulation when watering to avoid root rot.

3. Soil

Sagebrush does not have high soil requirements, but loose, well-drained sandy soil is preferred. You can use special soil for succulents or prepare your own (garden soil: river sand: leaf mold soil = 1:1:1).

4. Temperature

Sagebrush has strong cold resistance and can withstand low temperatures of -5°C, but it is best to move it indoors for maintenance in winter. When the temperature is high in summer, you need to pay attention to ventilation to avoid a stuffy environment.

5. Fertilize

Sage grass has low fertilizer requirements, and dilute compound fertilizer or organic fertilizer can be applied once a month during the growth period (spring and autumn). Stop fertilizing during high temperatures in winter and summer.

3. How to propagate Sagewort

Sagewort is easy to propagate, and cutting and division methods are commonly used:

• Cuttings: Cut strong branches, dry the wounds and insert them into the soil. Keep the soil slightly moist. Roots will take place in about 1-2 weeks.
• ramets: Separate the clustered plants and transplant them directly into new pots for a high survival rate.
