Re: Salvia dorisiana

Allessandra,
I have seen it growing in light shade at the Strybing Aboretum in San Francisco, so it will probably do OK in your tropical house.  I have some planted in full sun, and it grows vigorously, but, contrary to the reports of others, mine begins to wither if not watered regularly.  Try leaving it where it is and see what happens.

Now we put the recently purchased  one  in the garden in the new tropical house, but I am  really concerned it will lack light, indoor.  This trop.house in fact is targeted for under-storey, low-light demanding Trop. plants. The s.dorisiana was put in a more or less luminous spot, but still it is shady compared to the amount of light we have outside.  Moreover, humidity ranges from 75 to 90%.  The fact is we wanted to have something

if I see it becoming floppy and pale, I will move it outdoors immediately. Do you think I should do it without waiting?
