00:0011 Mistakes Gardeners Make While Growing Sage and How to Avoid Them

00:04Overwatering and Poor Drainage

00:07Sage hates soggy roots.

00:10Ensure drainage by amending soil as needed and by planting in raised beds or containers with drainage holes.

00:16Planting in too much shade

00:17Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun, otherwise plant stretch, weaken, and lose aromatic oil production.

00:25Neglecting soil pH and nutrient balance

00:27Sage prefers slightly alkaline soil.

00:30Test pH, add lime if needed, and avoid nitrogen-heavy fertilizers promoting legginess.

00:36Skipping regular pruning

00:37Annual early summer pruning encourages branching.

00:41Cut back one-third above nodes and deadhead blooms to focus foliage.

00:46Ignoring pest and disease monitoring

00:48Inspect weekly for aphids, mites, slugs, and mildew.

00:52Improve airflow, handpick pests, and treat early with neem.

00:55Crowding plants too closely

00:57Space plants 18 to 24 inches apart to improve airflow, reduce disease, and prevent weak, spindly, light-competing growth.

01:05Using the wrong sage variety

01:07Match cultivar to site conditions

01:09Culinary sage needs sun and lean soil.

01:12Ornamentals tolerate more shade and moisture.

01:15Omitting mulch or applying it incorrectly

01:17Apply 2 inches of mulch but keep away from the crown.

01:21This stabilizes soil temperature, retains moisture appropriately, and supplies gentle nutrients as it decomposes.

01:29Over-harvesting young plants

01:30Wait until six true leaf sets.

01:34Never harvest more than one-third, preserving energy for rooting and branching.

01:39Neglecting winter protection in cold climates

01:41In cold zones, trim in autumn mulch bases, avoid late feeding, and remove mulch gradually in spring.

01:48Failing to rotate or refresh sage beds

01:51Relocate every few years or amend soil with compost and sand to break disease cycles and restore vigor.
