I came back to post to tell you that my salvia cuttings looked great for 2 weeks
in the cup in the shade in well water..
They never formed roots...
changed the water daily...leaves stayed green for 2 weeks and stems
then they turned brown and died..
I did not know to add a drop of peroxide ..that makes sense and will do that next time..thanks WCGypsy for that advice..
I use peroxide for cleaning cat scratches on my arms etc for the bacteria or from a dog scratch..
I clean countertops and also toilets with it...as it has no smell and I am chemical sensitive..and fragrance sensitive...hospitals use it for same purposes ...
so I always have a new bottle of hydrogen peroxide in the house
