Can lavender be grown indoors? How to grow lavender indoors

1. Can it be kept indoors?

Lavender can be grown indoors. Although it is a long-day plant, it has a certain degree of shade tolerance, and the light provided by the balcony can meet its growth conditions. Not only is it beautiful, it also has a special fragrance and is a very good decorative plant.

2. How to raise

1. Light: Lavender is a long-day plant, so sufficient light must be provided during its growth process. Usually it should be placed in a sunny place. If it is grown indoors, it can be grown on the balcony. If the environment is too dark, the plant will develop poorly and will age earlier.

2. Soil: Lavender has a relatively developed root system and is generally planted in deep, loose and fertile soil. If the soil is highly acidic or alkaline, or is heavy and sticky, it will also affect the respiration and growth of the roots. The potting soil can be prepared with garden soil and river sand. This kind of soil has good drainage and is suitable for plant growth.

3. Watering: Lavender likes dry conditions and does not require much water. It only needs sufficient water during the greening period and budding period. Watering should be controlled at other times. Especially during the flowering period and winter, you must not water it too much, otherwise it will cause the flowers to fall and may also frostbite its roots.

4. Fertilization: Lavender needs to be applied with base fertilizer when planting so that it can continuously provide nutrients. During its growth stage, appropriate top dressing can also be applied. Before the plant blooms, adding a little phosphorus and potassium fertilizers can help promote flowering. After flowering, because it consumes too many nutrients, it also needs fertilization to help it resume growth.
