Wait until you see new growth. Use the "asparagus" rule to trim salvias. Bending the stem until it snaps (towards the outer end) will reveal the approximate area where the transition of the woody growth to new green growth is. This is also the point where cuttings are taken. Treat shrubby woody-stemmed sages like greggii and microphyllas that form twiggy, woody growth like roses. Definitely do not cut these to the ground.

The biggest requirement for taking clones is a healthy parent, or stock plant. A parent plant should be in excellent health and should posess the characteristics wished for in the new plants. It should be at least two months old and it should still be in the stages of vegetative growth. Besides that you need First, you'll want to prepare the humidity tray by soaking the growing media with your prepared nutrient solution. You will use this same nutrient solution to water the clones in a few days. See similar questions...

lt;Likely trouble here in the longer run... Need larger quarters to keep together as anything other than small/juveniles.> lt;Absolutely... And there is likely added antagonism from these two angels being squeezed together...> lt;Hard to say... I would, with what little information provided here, go the sure/safe route and manipulate the treatment environment (spg, temp), and treat with a chelated copper and matched test kit... then later avail myself of biological cleaners..

Pruning is the removal of the non-useful code and metadata from your Application, such as: dead code, not-yet implemented features, specific design-time code, external components generic code... {smartassembly} scans your code and automatically determines which code is useful and which code will never be executed at run time.

Aerogel has a blue cast for the same reason that the sky is blue. The very small particles that compose the aerogel scatter blue light, the same as our atmosphere scatters blue light. Similarly, when you look through the aerogel the light appears yellowish or reddish, like that of a sunrise or sunset. See similar questions...

Victoria is on Vancouver Island, so you need to come by Ferry or by Air. There are Ferries from Vancouver BC to Swartz Bay (20 min north of Victoria), from Anacortes in Washington State to Sidney (15 min north of Victoria), and from Port Angeles in Washington State that comes into the Inner Harbour. There are Airplanes coming from Vancouver, Seattle, and other locations. Please refer to: http://tourismmall.victoria.bc.ca/transprt. See similar questions...

Salvia divinorum is a plant from the mint family and a species of sage that is used for its psychoactive effects. Salvia is endemic only to the Mazatec region of the Sierra Madre mountains in Oaxaca, Mexico, also known as the Sierra Mazateca. Given the right dose, individual, set and setting, it produces a unique state of "divine inebriation" which has been traditionally used by Mazatec healers and prophets. This inebriation is quite different from that of alcohol. See similar questions...

Although salvia is not believed to be addicting, it should be borne in mind that some very habit forming drugs including tobacco, heroin, cocaine and benzodiazepines also were initially thought not to be addicting. No physical dependence on salvia or salvinorin has been reported. The usual usage pattern is not one of daily use. Indeed such would be quite unusual. Withdrawal symptoms have not been reported. Compulsive use is not something that SALVIA list e-mail members or others are reporting. See similar questions...

Roses are budded in order to assure the healthiest, most vigorous root system on every variety. There are however, a few commercial varieties being grown on their own roots. That being said, almost any variety can be grown from cuttings. Keep in mind you may not have the same long term success as with plants purchased from commercial producers. See similar questions...

Cloning is a form of plant propagation that has been around for a very long time. It's basically taking a growing portion of a plant - a stem with some leaves attached, and helping it to become a brand new plant that is genetically identical to the plant from which the clone was taken. This is often easy to do because plants often clone themselves in nature. It's called asexual reproducation. See similar questions...

Keeping this fern indoors is probably the cause of its problems. It needs a humidity level that is not available indoors, except in a greenhouse. Most of the water the plant uses it gets from humidity in the air. Watering during dry periods with a fine spray or mist may be necessary. The ants I would not worry about. They are usually predators of less desirable insects. See similar questions...

Pruning is important for all roses as a means to renew the plant. Most modern roses are pruned in this area during January or February when they are at their most dormant stage. Old Garden Roses are mostly "once bloomers," which have just one long period per year of heavy flowering with no repeat bloom. These roses should be pruned right after they finish blooming. Do not fail to prune for fear of making a mistake. See similar questions...

Pruning reduces the size of the Assembly, and thus improves loading time and global performance. A smaller Assembly is also easier to deploy through the Internet or a corporate network. It also avoids exposing non useful code, like code not fully implemented yet, which may reveal upcoming features. See similar questions...

During the winter months, certain plant materials respond better to pruning that would normally stress them during the active growing season. Some materials we choose to renovate by cutting them almost down to the ground in an effort to force them to thicken and regenerate. This is only safely performed while they are dormant in the winter (February to early March). See similar questions...

When repotting relatively large plants, you may not want to increase the pot size. In this case most plants will handle root pruning, especially if the weather is good- not too hot or too cold. It is a good way to rejuvenate old plants with compact, tight root balls. To root prune remove the pot and using a big sharp knife, remove a 3-5 cm (1-2 inch) layer of the root ball from the sides and bottom. See similar questions...

No one knows for sure. There are several theories as to why the ocean is usually blue. Some scientists believe that when sunlight hits seawater, part of the white light is absorbed and part is reflected. White light is composed of various shades (all the colors in the rainbow). Seawater does not absorb blue light, so the blue light is reflected outwards. Some scientists believe that suspended matter in the sea is responsible for its blue color. See similar questions...
