Lavender cultivation methods and precautions

Lavender cultivation methods and precautions

1. Soil

It is best to use neutral or weakly alkaline soil for growing lavender. Specifically, you can mix pearl stone, vermiculite and peat moss in a ratio of 1:1:1.

2. Lighting

Lavender is a flower that prefers light. Except for the summer when it needs an appropriate amount of shade, it can receive direct sunlight in other seasons. If it is kept in a dark environment for a long time, it will be difficult for it to grow.

3. Watering

Lavender prefers a drier environment and is very afraid of waterlogging. You cannot water it too much at normal times. Wait until the soil starts to dry out before watering it. When watering, you must water thoroughly. The soil cannot be half wet and half dry, and there cannot be any accumulation of water, otherwise its roots will easily be damaged.

4. Temperature

The optimum growth temperature for lavender is around 20℃, and it cannot be lower than 10℃ in winter. If the normal temperature is not suitable, its growth rate will be greatly slowed down. If the temperature in winter is too low, it may freeze.

5. Notes

1. Change the pot in time. Lavender will grow slowly and its size will become larger and larger, so it is necessary to constantly change it to a larger pot to provide it with enough growth space.

2. Prevent root rot. Lavender is more susceptible to this disease. To avoid this situation, you can irrigate the roots with a diluted solution of carbendazim or thiophanate-methyl every month.
