Growing your own sacred medicine: How to grow sage 🌿

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Have you tried to grow sage before?

[@natashanonnattive4818]

I haven't grown but saw the bushels in Montana. I have followed our native traditions in America for decades.

[@AmzBackyardOrchardandVineyard]

we just bought seeds on clearance that aren't expired! we cant wait to have multiple sage bushes around our home!

[@mividalocastudio9366]

Have you? Because for a video titled "Growing", we never saw you grow, harvest, nor dry the sage yourself... Just saying.

[@robertng4286]

Is rooting sage cuttings as easy as rooting sweet basil cuttings??

[@lex6819]

I'm growing sage in a container, outdoors. I put it in the sunniest spot I could find, and I don't have many, but it's growing. Sage loves sunlight!

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Great tip Vicki! Thank you for sharing!!

[@paulinemccullen4195]

I grow many different sages. I love the smell of sage. I have purple and variegated sage. I have a beautiful mexican sage and ornamental ones too. but my favourite is the large leafed Sacred Sage. I recently bought Salvia Alpiana seeds and it is definitely slightly different and delightful smell. I love the way the scent stays with me and i smudge with it too. Love from Ireland ☘

[@sunshinedelrio3191]

I took cuttings of sage and had them sit in water to help roots grow before potting them. 2 of 3 we’re doing well & now I just have 1 left that is thriving. I also planted 2 mature plants. Both were doing great & 1 I’m not sure if it will make it. Plants do go into shock so I’m not sure if that had anything to do with it. The one planted sage bush that continues to do well has even flowered. So that was a pleasant & most welcomed surprise. It is nice to see the bees stop & say hello to the plant from time to time 🙂

This is a great comment!! Thank you for sharing your story with us:)

[@caitlincourt948]

I have not grown sage before but I want to try it! I love the idea of helping sage become less endangered by producing my own in my own home :)

[@-Atmos1]

I have some growing in my garden , this time of year it's fragrant & beautiful . With the next New Moon I'll sew some more seeds in an area that I'm preparing . Great video .

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Thanks for sharing Mike, I am sure the fragrant is so nice!

[@maquabear5242]

There are over 400 varieties of sage. They are not just desert plants. Go to Wyoming or South Dakota, sage grows like crazy!. Both of those states have harsh winters. I love what you are doing with this channel. And the Grandmothers will tell you about how sage can be used for many things besides smudge and cooking. Keep up the good work.

[@danijohnson4606]

I have never tried growing my own Sage, but it is such a good idea. Thank you for all of the awesome tips, and teachings. This video is awesome!

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Thank you for this wonderful comment!

[@norahmiles5267]

Hi Mallory. yes I have grown sage many years ago when I lived in the country but, used it for cooking. Never thought of using it for smudging back then, but, I do now. It grew well. I think I will try growing it this year. Thanks😊

[@caitlincourt948]

I love having my own garden! I am in an apartment right now so I cannot have a garden atm - BUT did not know I could grow sage inside! Maybe I will grow my own sage now!!

[@natashanonnattive4818]

A Southern window is great for winter. Different times of the year for other plants or weeds.

[@MalloryRoseCo]

That's great news Caitlin!

[@pilappppa4976]

Thank you! I am going to start growing my sage With a lot of love . Thank you!

[@MalloryRoseCo]

That's great! Good luck! 🙏🏽

[@mixedsuga503]

I’m looking for to having a better relationship with the sacred medicine. I feel like I will have a deeper connection growing it masi for the great video!

[@MalloryRoseCo]

That's great to hear and you're very welcome :)

[@kevinhennessy7545]

I grow my own Prairie Sage. This is the first year that we have harvested and it's a pretty hard plant to dry.

[@XskywhisperX]

I'm so glad that you have this channel! I believe that I desend from the Ojibwe tribes, and I was never taught anything about my Indigenous roots but I habe always wanted to learn more

[@MalloryRoseCo]

We are so happy to hear that!! We have tons of resources and if you have any questions feel free to ask :)

[@maquabear5242]

There is one thing that I've learned over the years, and many thousands of miles... Smudge Ceremonies should be kept very simple. And can be done anywhere by anyone. Even non-natives.

[@Mari.Colombiana.Despertando]

I bought seeds from a native place, it's been a while and for some reason haven't tried them, will do this week and hope for the best... I really want to grow my own sage ❤️🙏

Where can I purchase white sage seeds ?

[@edcat6587]

Thanks.i would recommend not drying in the sun-the uv in sunlight will degrade the plant,and also you may lose a lot of the oils/volatile compounds.better in a dry,shady place or even only indoors, if it gets moist at night(or move indoors at night from shady,dry outdoors). of course,this may also depend on your environment,how hot and dry it is where you live.if you are in a very moist or northern environment,drying in the sun may be ok....best wishes,and thanks again.

[@Vieja_208]

Hi, would this apply to Northern Plains Sage? I'm interested in planting that type of sage. Just not finding much about it.

[@naomiwonsehleay9914]

where can i buy it

I’m in Mississippi

[@crystalquartz11]

I'd love to grow my own sage! 🌿

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Let us know how it goes J S !

[@ferrariunicorn]

I’m here bc I’d like to grow my own instead of purchasing it, as not to contributing to its large commercial harvesting that’s endangering it, money can limit which sage you buy so why not try growing my own - thank you for this video - thank you for all you teach and share 🙏🏼 Also do you all sell seeds, cuttings, whole plants? I mention whole plants bc I’m not much of a gardener and I feel like whole plants might aid in a greater success rate with growing and harvesting at home 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@natashanonnattive4818]

I like the topic any suggestions for Aloe, or Ginseng? Sage grows well in Northern cooler states I use my porch or greenhouse before its too hot or cold. Thank you smudge me

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Aloe loves dry soil! try cactus soil mix:) Ginseng however, loves moist conditions and thrives in the shade!!

Great suggestion David we will keep that in mind! :) here is a video on the significance of sweet grass for now :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWWzhIpjf8etpMU

That's awesome! You can order seeds or live plants and give it a shot! Let us know how it turns out :)

[@kamanzifrank7873]

I have tried like tree time to plant sage but no success

[@ironmama5]

I grew it fine from seed but after I overwintered in straw it didn’t flourish the 2nd year when I needed to collect seeds. I’ve had people say it can survive and flourish after a freeze but that’s not true. Ok so grow it inside in a container. Right? That won’t allow it to go dormant in winter - does it need that dormancy? That rest? To be strong enough for the 2nd year , to be able to produce flowers and good seed?if not inside is my best option I guess. I’m in Mississippi.

[@spoolsandbobbins]

I know sage does not like too much water. Perhaps it sits in too much moisture over winter there? Have you tried a raised bed? Lavender is similar and I grow mine in raised beds and pots. I cover them over winter so they don’t stay wet.

[@evelynrenee9513]

Something I wonder in recent years. Is burning sage/smudging a closed practice or something non-indigenis people are allowed to do with respect?

[@MalloryRoseCo]

Thanks for your question!! Smudging is for all humankind!!

[@angelestuares1691]

i tried to grow seeds from seeds. i am a failure.

[@mogyui2902]

The more I learn about ancient medicine and religious ceremony, it seems more aimed at natural and nature's restoration. Wtf happened?!?

[@EricArbour-]

I am sorry to break it to you but all your advice is good for any sage but not the white one's. I produced with a professional and there's no way to do with cuttings, germination rate is less than 10% (in the best condition). That's the true about white sage (salvia Apiana)

[@StrictlyMedicinalLLC]

good point, most of the comments come from people who are confusing sagebrush (Artemisia) with true sage (Salvia). Salvia apiana is not northern hardy, does not propagate from cuttings, etc. Check Strictly Medicinal Seeds for reliable information.
