I cut my Sage plant way too much and it seems to be on the verge of dying now! How I wish I had cut the plant for use instead of throwing everything away. It's really upsetting and unnerving, if not frustrating and irking, to have plants that you love infected with scales, mealie bugs, and the other debilitating pathogens. There were so many infected sites on the lovely plant that I had to cut it all the way from the top, leaving only a few centimetres of it from the soil. I should have checked the cuttings for viable parts before I threw the whole thing into the bin. I was just so consumed by rage, I couldn't really think straight about the situation. I wish I could have done it differently and probably use the cuttings to propagate. Ah well, alas, I can't undo what I have done and I firmly believe it is going to die soon with the remaining infected sites unattended. Thinking about this, my heart has sunk once again.
