Light SageSole pieno
We suggest to position the The Sage in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day. The leaves of aromatic plants are used in the kitchen; if necessary let’s remember to use only agricultural parasiticides, and let’s follow the lacking period indicated on the label: if we spray a plant we can ‘t use its leaves for alimentary use for the period of time indicated, when the chemical product is harmful.These plants don't like excessively harsh temperatures, with night-time minimum temperatures below 0°C. during the spring in general they are grown in a covered place, moving them outdoors, or uncovering them, when there isn't any danger of sudden temperature drops.

Cultivation Sage
These plants have an erect development; in the lower part they usually show a bare stem, while towards the top they widen to form the crown. The Sage Is small in size; in summer it assumes a red colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round. The Sage has a shrub- like development.

Fertilize Sage
During the spring months let’s add to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days, some fertilizer for green plants, rich in nitrogen and potassium.

Water SageTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 2-3 weeks . To use these plants year round we can proceed with harvesting, in the spring or in the summer. The plants should be washed and dried well, then dehydrated, or frozen, to use them during the year.

Pests Sage
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Sage
These plants need a substratum with an optimum drainage.
