What Customers Say

Why Sage Needs Specialized Nutrients

Sage requires specialized nutrients such as nitrogen for leaf development, phosphorus for root growth, and potassium for overall plant health and disease resistance.

Watering

Water sage deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.

Light

Place sage in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and flavor development.

Soil

Plant sage in well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0, enriched with organic matter like compost for nutrient retention.

Additional Tips

Prune sage regularly to encourage new growth and prevent it from becoming woody, and harvest leaves in the morning for the best flavor.
