              To care for Salvia plants guidelines:

              Sunlight: Salvia plants thrive in full sun, so plant them in a location where they can receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day.

              Watering: 
              Water Salvia plants deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

              Soil:
              Plant Salvia in well-draining soil with good aeration. Adding organic matter like compost can help improve soil quality.

              Fertilization:
              Feed Salvia plants with a balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season to promote healthy growth and blooming.

              Pruning:
              Trim back Salvia plants after blooming to encourage new growth and maintain a compact shape. Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming.

              Pests and diseases:
              Keep an eye out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

              By providing adequate sunlight, well-draining soil, proper watering, occasional fertilization, and regular maintenance, you can help your Salvia plants thrive and bloom beautifully throughout the growing season.
