Keep the medium just moist, never soggy. Transplant seedlings to pots when 8-10 cm tall, spacing 40-50 cm apart in full sun. Pinch growing tips to encourage a bushy habit. Begin light leaf harvest once the plant is established, around 100-120 days from sowing.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I sow sage seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow in the cooler months from October to February in the plains, and in spring in hilly regions. Avoid the peak summer heat and heavy monsoon, when damp, hot conditions cause poor germination and rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan sage be grown in pots on a balcony?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, sage grows well in pots with good drainage.
