Hey folks, My friend in Canada has had some problems growing Sally D. Sage. In order to help her adjust to comparatively dry and cold environments from a humid warm environment where the cutting was made, he put her in a plastic tent made from an old matress cover and kept her well-misted. The only challenge was that when the sun came out she might have got a bit cooked as it got to about 34 degrees in the hot sun in a plastic tent. Some insects look like they also got to her in those conditions. She has since been kept in the shade with no plastic cover and seems to have made some new growth and recovery in conjunction with pyretherine-based insecticide. A few questions: Is the pyretherine likely to affect the natural compounds occuring in her leaves or is it typically eliminated from the plant? I am curious? Could this stuff be used regularly on the leaves? Are the black edges on the old leaves typical of the plant overheating when she was placed in the tent? Are insects typically a problem in such conditions? I got some fish-based fertiliser to feed her? Can you recommend anything else? Please see the attached photos, Thanks guys, I appreciate your time to respond, BB
