How to take care of newly bought lavender

1. Check the plants

When you buy lavender, you should first check whether the roots of the plant are damaged, because the merchant may damage the roots when transferring the lavender to the pot. Secondly, check whether the leaves are yellowing. If so, trim them immediately to avoid worsening of the symptoms.

2. Watering

Lavender has a high water demand and needs to be watered frequently. When you water the newly bought lavender for the first time, you need to water the soil in the pot thoroughly, and then do not water it again for five or six days. This will allow the lavender to adapt to the new environment faster.

3. Lighting

Lavender should not be exposed to sunlight when it is newly bought, because the plant is relatively fragile at this time. If it is exposed to direct sunlight, the leaves are likely to be burned. It needs to be placed in a cool and shaded place for a period of time, and then exposed to the sun after it adapts to the environment.

4. Fertilization

Lavender has just arrived in a new environment and needs some time to adapt. Don't stimulate it, so don't rush to fertilize it. Fertilizing at this time will not only not promote growth, but will easily burn the roots. You need to wait until it adapts to the new environment before fertilizing again.
