The best range of temperatures for growing salvia plants is about 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit, they can tolerate much colder (Almost freezing temperatures) but plant growth slows at the extremes of its preferred range. Growing salvia is also made a good deal easier when you take steps to preserve the plants’ natural affinity to moisture in the air. This can be done by frequently misting your growing divinorum plants with clean water from a garden-mister. This is also an ideal way to clean the leaves of your salvia divinorum plants from any dirt or bugs. Salvia divinorium also grows very well in a humidity tent, that is a greenhouse like setup that traps moisture and heat but lets in light to the plants. Simply wrapping plastic wrap from the lights overhanging your growing salvia divinorium plants will be sufficient.

Care of salvia divinorum plants
Remember that salvia plants will begin to grow quite slowly at first, and every time you move a divinorum plant from one pot to another there will be a slow down in the salvia plants’ growth until it has time to recover and adjust to the new growing environment. The larger the plant typically the faster the rate of growth and recovery from transplantations and other stresses, fertilizer generally will help speed this process up also. Make sure, when growing salvia divinorum plants for leaf mass, to use a big enough, otherwise the growing plants roots will be constricted and you will get a smaller yield of salvia divinorium.

Salvia divinorum plants have very weak stems, that are prone to breaking in half when they get too tall to support the weight of all the leaves. When the stem breaks if it is in contact with the soil, as it often is since the plant usually bends over as it breaks, the stem will root in the soil and the salvia plant will survive and you can continue growing salvia.

There are two different strains commonly available in salvia divinorum plant cuttings from vendors, the first specimen brought back to the new world was called hoffman and wasson and it’s the smallest and host hardy of the salvia strains currently being grown. The other most popular variety of growing salvia is blosser/palatable this is the most recent specimen retrieved from mexico (in 1990) and its reportedly easier to eat because it has a much less bitter taste

Salvia divinorum is a legal herb (so far). It is not like pot. It gives you a big rush high and you go limp. It only last 5 - 10 min. It was traditionally used by shamans for exploring conciousness. It is now widely available at most head shops and you can even order it online.

Pull a lollipop out of your mouth and you'll see it. Wake up after drooling on your pillow and you'll feel it. That's right, it's spit, also known as saliva (say: suh-lie-vuh).

Saliva is a clear liquid that's made in your mouth 24 hours a day, every day. It's made up mostly of water, with a few other chemicals. The slippery stuff is produced by the salivary (say: sah-luh-vair-ee) glands. These glands are found on the inside of each cheek, on the bottom of the mouth, and under the jaw at the very front of the mouth. They secrete (say: sih-kreet), or ooze, about 2 to 4 pints (or about 1 to 2 liters) of spit into your mouth every day!

Spit is super for lots of reasons. Saliva wets food and makes it easier to swallow. Without saliva, a grilled cheese sandwich would be dry and difficult to gulp down. It also helps the tongue by allowing you to taste. A dry tongue can't tell how things taste — it needs saliva to keep it wet.

Spit helps begin the process of digestion (say: dy-jes-chun), too. Before food hits your stomach, saliva starts to break it down while the food's still in your mouth. It does this with the help of enzymes (say: en-zimes), special chemicals found in the saliva. The combination of chewing food and coating it with saliva makes the tongue's job a bit easier — it can push wet, chewed food toward the throat more easily.

Saliva also cleans the inside of your mouth and rinses your teeth to help keep them clean. (But remember that spit isn't enough to keep teeth in tip-top shape; you still need to brush and floss!) The enzymes in saliva also help to fight off infections in the mouth.

Most school-age kids have just the right amount of saliva. Sometimes a person may not have enough saliva, but this is usually the result of certain medicines or treatments, some kinds of diseases, or old age

Slimy! Slippery! Saliva is none other than spit, the clear liquid in your mouth that's made of water and other chemicals. Saliva helps keep the mouth moist and contains an enzyme that starts to break down food even before it hits your stomach!

If you mean "SALIVA" It is the first part of chemical digestion, it changes a starch, to a sugar, it is right behind the first part of "Physical" digestion (chewing).
