Description:
Salvia officinalis is a perennial herb belonging to the Lamiaceae family and hails from Mediterranean regions. It is utilized in our gastronomy and possesses numerous medicinal properties.
Origin:
Salvia officinalis originates from Mediterranean regions and has been utilized since ancient times in both the culinary and traditional medicine of the region.
History:
This plant has been valued throughout history for its culinary and medicinal properties. Its use dates back to ancient Rome and Greece, where it was considered a sacred plant.
Watering:
We should water 2 to 3 times a week, although it can also withstand drought, but it will thrive better if watered more regularly. It is important to keep the soil slightly moist but avoid waterlogging.
Pruning:
Salvia officinalis can benefit from light pruning to maintain its shape and promote healthy growth. It is recommended to prune wilted leaves and dead stems to stimulate the growth of new shoots.
Care:
The soil does not need much organic matter but should be sandy and well-drained to avoid waterlogging issues. The plant prefers a sunny exposure and warm temperatures, with the optimal temperature for its growth being up to 35ºC. Additionally, it is important to watch out for potential pests such as mildew, aphids, or whiteflies and apply appropriate control measures if necessary, such as the use of biological insecticides.
