About Purple Sage
Purple Sage is a relatively rare houseplant 🌿 that needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light ☀️ and should be less than 1 foot from a window.
Purple Sage likes soil that is well draining. Your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you repot each time it doubles in size.

How to fertilize Purple Sage
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Purple Sage after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Rosemary Plant Care My Rosemary plant does have some green still even tho you can’t really tell from the picture but it is completely burned. It doesn’t like any conditions. It was wilted and soft like it was needing more sun and less water and now it’s fried. I just moved it so it’s only indirectly in the plant light. It didn’t like being outside either. I gave it plant food. I don’t know what else I could have done. Idk if I can save it but does anyone have any rosemary plant tips for the future.

Unsure what’s wrong with my rosemary I got the rosemary from Home Depot, and repotted in a terracotta pot with mix of cactus soil, perlite and sand. It’s been 6 weeks, it was healthy and soil mix is draining well. From last week, noticing that the leaves are drying out. Can some one help with how to revive it and get through the fall and winter.
