Salvia Divinorum is a very rare plant, being found in only a few ravine locations in the Sierra Mazateca mountains. The plants like humidity and moisture, moderate but indirect sunlight and warm temperatures. Even though very little is known about it, Salvia Divinorum has never been found in the wild. The patches which have been found in the Sierra Mazateca are thought to have been planted deliberately; local shaman tradition suggests that the plant is foreign to the region; there is no knowledge of its origin.
