yah, you just take a male one and .....
Wait, its a Cultigen: Cultigen is the name given to organisms, particularly cultivated plants such as Salvia divinorum, that do not have a wild or uncultivated counterpart for one of two reasons. Either its wild brethren are now extinct, or its species was domesticated (grown and selected by humankind) from so far back in antiquity, and has undergone such drastic transformation under prehistoric human selection, that the plant's ancestry is essentially unknown.
Botany:Unlike other species of salvia, Salvia divinorum produces few seeds, and those seldom germinate. For an unknown reason, pollen fertility is reduced. There is no active pollen tube inhibition within the style, but some event or process after the pollen tube reaches the ovary is aberrant. Partial sterility is often suggestive of a hybrid origin, although no species have been recognized as possible parent species. The ability to grow indistinguishable plants from seeds produced by self pollination also weakens the hybrid theory of origin, instead implying inbreeding depression, or an undiscovered incompatibility mechanism. The plant is mainly propagated by cuttings or layering. Although isolated strands of S. divinorum exist, these are thought to have been purposely created and tended by the Mazatec people. For this reason, it is considered a true cultigen, not occurring in a wild state.All known specimens are clones from a small number of collected plants. Two strains are in major circulation: the Wasson/Hofmann strain, obtained upon request from a Mazatec shaman in Oaxaca in 1962, and the Blosser ('Palatable') strain, obtained around 1980. The Palatable strain is said to have a more acceptable taste than the Wasson/Hofmann strain, although most reports suggest that there is little difference.
Additional commercial strains are in circulation, but all seem to be similar in potency, effect, and growth. The numerous different names have more to do with marketing than with the formal identification of botanically distinct strains.
The above quotes from wikkipedia suggest "your friend";) get cuts. Maybe other cw'ers can mention a viable seed source??

Salvia divinorum Seeds
WE ARE QUITE fortunate to be able to make these extremely rare seeds available to you. For reasons that are not well understood, Salvia divinorum plants almost never set seed. The seeds germinate in approximately fourteen days, and the germination rate is typically about thirty percent. When you start new plants from seed you are establishing new, genetically unique individuals, and thus doing important work to help expand the genetic diversity of this rare species. Please be careful to label your seed-raised plants so that they do not get confused with other Salvia divinorum plants in your collection. Most Salvia divinorum plants are indistinguishable from each other, but occasionally a seed-raised plant will be visibly distinctive in some way. If you do obtain an unusual plant, please contact us. For advice on raising Salvia divinorum plants from seed, please go here. Happy growing!
Buyer beware: Several people have been selling bogus "Salvia divinorum" on eBay. For more information about this situation, go here.
Out of stock. Salvia divinorum seeds are extremely rare. We do not know when we will have more available for sale.
thank you for clearing things up

Hello lovers of sage, this is what I had last year, is a clone of a sage who brought shantibaba of mexico in the summer in the Mediterranean difficult to maintain if not all these days awaiting her, in a few weeks I will have another montare clone and a mini greenhouse microclimate.

There are some plants that attract whitefly easily, almost no other plants around tube whitefly.
