Sage Cutting with Brown Spots: Root Stress

Sage cutting wilty after early repotting, watered when soil dry 0.5" down, misted daily. Brown leaf margins and random spots on leaves/stems.

Diagnosis

Root-related stress from repotting shock. Misting may encourage fungal spots.

Care

• Stop misting—sage hates humid foliage.
• Water at base only when soil dry 1" down.
• Bright light, good airflow.
• Wait 2 weeks: new growth = success; permanent wilt = failure.
