Entretien
Plant your sage in well-draining soil and make sure it gets plenty of airflow to prevent fungal issues. Watch for yellowing leaves, which often signal that the soil is staying too wet. It thrives when you let the soil dry out significantly between waterings.
- Arrosage
- Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out completely before watering again.
- Engrais
- Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer sparingly during the active growing season.
- Taille
- Trim back woody stems in early spring to encourage fresh, bushy growth.
