CURRENTLY SEEKING INFORMATION: if you know any payment options for the individuals/businesses listed on this page, please inform me/us by replying to this thread or contacting me.
Since so many new members ask about getting cuttings or where to purchase new plants, I've decided to just keep an updated list of the best places on the internet.
This list does not and will not contain extracts (which are easy to acquire). Non-Salvia Divinorum plants that are of interest to this community appear at the bottom (you can discuss miscellaneous plants in the general discussion forum, or the cultivation or trading forums for other plants).
Note that the "buyer experiences" referred to in this post refer to the reports given by users at this forum.
If you'd like to help update the information for yourself (or have it removed), please send me a private message or reply to this thread.
Businesses to purchase from
Finding a local nursery that grows Salvia Divinorum is very rare, mainly because it is such a delicate plant. Even if you find one that does, such as a university greenhouse, they will probably be even less likelier to be using lights to control its seed production. This means that 1) it's probably impossible to find a commercial grower with Salvia Divinorum outside of the internet, and 2) it's extremely rare for a grower to have Salvia Divinorum seeds.
Note: at least one nursery on here (FunnyFarmHerbs) has said that they supply plants for at least one of the affiliates listed below. As such, notice the price differences and delay in shipping, between each business, in order to predict whether or not a business is inflating their prices so they can re-sell plants from one of the other businesses.
As a result of availability and low costs, the world's primary choice for acquiring Salvia Divinorum is by mail through one of the following (feel free to reply and suggest shops or write a review):

- Price: $20 + shipping. Rooted and potted Blosser strain of unknown height.
- Experiences:
- Common amongst various buyers: small holes (looks like a pest problem at Funny Farms, although no bugs have been reported on any plants) and cut leaves (some theorize that it is to promote a bushier plant).
- redfieldTnT: ordered 2 blosser plants ($20 ea + shipping = $49.50) on May 26th. Plants arrived June 4th. Plants wrapped well with "popcorn foam." Package included some cultivation instructions. One plant came with 17 leaves and one came with 6 leaves. Each plant was 7-8 inches tall and a bit wilted. "Bug bites" were present on the leaves. Overall experience: "great." Would rate them as "a 10 for price and speed and quality."

Two days later, received an email from Paypal confirming that the plant had been shipped (a 2-day turnaround from order to shipping).

- Experiences:
- jasonsalvia ordered a plant, had no reply, and he canceled his order. They contacted him and asked him to reorder and they would send, he didn't, but they sent him a plant anyways. Plant in poor condition, but alive. See this thread.
- pastlife209 evidence of long delays, slow response, but eventually they got back to him and he got his plant (beautiful looking, too!).
- Their forum has reports of long delays (2-4 weeks up to a few months) for order processing and shipping. Supposedly they have bad correspondence. Varied feedback, potentially false reporting. They may just have a huge backlog of orders. Supposedly they make up poor quality of service with high quality plants, even giving additional plants away for free to compensate.
- Given the responses from various SS forum members, the shop seems to be completely separate from the forum, and the condition of the shop does not reflect the forum (and visa versa). This is a shop that has MANY complaints. More than any I've seen. Then again, it also has the most feedback.

- Price, strains, and height: $15.00 + shipping. Unknown strain and unknown height; potted plant. Must meet the requirement of "minimum plant order of 6 plants (can be any mix of varieties)". "Potted herbs and plug packs ship spring 2010. To reserve your plants, you will be charged for them at time of ordering." You will probably have to wait a while until plants are ready. According to caktalfraktal, both strains are available from this nursery, however they have been mixed up and so the growers do not know which strain is which. They may be open all year round, but the availability of plants may be reserved until spring.
- Experiences: well developed plants available at the nursery. No experiences with shipping.

the plant I was growing is still growing, but I've added another very much alive, and well thriving plant to my garden. It's got plenty of branches so once it's adapted to it's new home I'll be ready to make some cuttings, and from them more cuttings, etc.
