Steady Growth
To make sure that the growth doesn’t slow down there are various things that you can do. You have to know that salvia plants start off by growing slowly. Each time you move the location of the plant it will make the growing slower temporarily. This is because of the fact that every time you move the plant it has to readjust to the new environment that it is growing in. bigger plants will recover faster from the move than smaller plants. If you are growing the salvia plant in order to achieve large leaves that it is growing in something big enough to hold it because the roots could get stuck and that would result in less growth for your salvia plant.

Broken Stem
The stems of salvia plants are extremely weak and can snap in half if the plant gets too tall because it cannot continue to support the weight. After the stem snaps, if it’s touching the soil (it should be) then you stem will end up rooting inside the soil and the plant will live on and keep growing.
