Theresa lavender cultivation methods and precautions

Theresa lavender is a relatively easy-to-grow flower. It is native to South Africa and prefers light. It does not have too many requirements for the soil in which it grows. It is more suitable for growing in medium to large ornamental potted plants. Its leaves are relatively ordinary, but they will be more ornamental if properly maintained.

Theresa lavender cultivation method

1. Pot soil

Theresa lavender does not require too complicated soil. If you find it troublesome, you can directly dig some garden soil from the vegetable garden to meet its growth needs. Or you can mix it with some coarse coconut coir, perlite or coarse sand, accounting for about 20%~30% is enough.

2. Lighting

Theresa lavender must grow in an environment with plenty of sunlight, ensuring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight a day. It is best to grow it in a full-sun environment, unless the temperature reaches above 40 degrees, in which case appropriate shading is needed. At other times, more sunlight should be given.

3. Fertilization

When fertilizing Theresa lavender, you must pay attention to applying thin fertilizers frequently. If you have time, it is best to add water-soluble fertilizers once every week. It is best to adjust the concentration to about 1000 to 1500 times.

4. Watering

The watering of Theresa lavender also depends on the maintenance environment. If there is sufficient light, it should be watered thoroughly once a day. If it is full sunlight, it may even need to be watered once in the morning and evening.

Theresa lavender care precautions

1. Planting new seedlings

For the newly bought potted Theresa lavender seedlings, we don't need to rush to change the pot. We can first place it in a ventilated and shaded place for maintenance, give it some soft scattered light, and ensure that the air humidity is above 50%.

2. Note when changing pots

Before repotting Theresa lavender, remember to check whether the plant has diseased spots and the dryness and wetness of the potting soil. Then, cut off the diseased leaves and roots according to the situation, and keep the soil in a relatively dry state, so that it can recover quickly after repotting.
