Will Sage be ok temporarily in low light?

[ladrianmarie]

I have a couple of sage seedlings in a window that's only getting about 2 hours of (afternoon) direct sun right now. There is plenty of indirect light, just minimal direct sunlight. I plan to buy some lights, but the sages were delivered early. Is it possible they might live a couple of weeks without supplementary lights?

Sage seedlings need a lot of direct light. Without it they tend to get leggy...but it sounds like you have no choice. To be successful, get the light on them as soon as possible.

Leggy, yes, but I would expect them to survive, like Meadowlark says, give them extra light as soon as you can.
Welcome to the forum, let us know how it goes.
Just a thought, I don't know if you are thinking of other things, but rather than getting young plants delivered it would probably be cheaper to buy a packet of seed to plant now and have germinating by the time the lights arrive.

Yes, sage can handle low light temporarily, but it thrives best in bright, direct sunlight. Keep it in a well-lit spot as soon as possible to maintain its flavor and growth
