How to grow lavender

1. Seed processing

When planting, choose seeds with full grains and glossy surface. Before planting, the seeds need to be soaked to germinate. Place the seeds in clean water and then provide them with a temperature environment of 40 degrees. After soaking for about 24 hours, take them out and dry them.

2. Prepare the soil

The soil should have good drainage, be breathable and loose. You can buy special substrates at a flower shop, or you can mix it yourself with perlite or peat soil. The flowerpot should be of appropriate size and made of ceramic, as it will be more permeable and conducive to later growth.

3. Reasonable sowing

After processing the seeds and preparing the potting soil, you can sow them. When sowing, just plant about two or three seeds in each pot. After planting, cover with a thin layer of soil, then water to moisten the soil. Be careful to flood the soil when watering so as not to scatter the seeds. Or you can use the immersion pot method, soaking the potting soil from bottom to top.

4. Maintenance and germination

It germinates relatively quickly, and with proper management, it can emerge from the ground in about a week. After the seedlings emerge, spray carbendazim regularly, once every half a month, to prevent and control diseases and pests. In addition, it should be moved to a place with light and exposed to more sunlight so that the leaf buds will not grow too long, otherwise the stems will easily become thin. When the seedlings have 4-6 leaves, you can resume normal management.
