Lavender can not only sow and raise seedlings but also can be planted by cuttings, and the specific requirements are different.

The selection of lavender sowing and breeding is very important, we should pay attention to the selection of varieties with full particles, uniform size and brown luster. The lavender seeds should be dried before sowing, then soaked in warm water of 30 degrees for half a day to a day, then soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid for five minutes, washed with clean water and dried.

Cuttings can be propagated in spring, summer and autumn. After cuttings, put lavender seedlings in a cool, well-ventilated place, keep soil and water moist for the first three days, and then decide how much water will be watered according to climatic conditions. Lavender cuttings do not need additional fertilization throughout the period, so it is much more convenient to manage than seed breeding.

2. Watering

After planting, lavender should be fully watered in the first three years to promote growth. Lavender should be watered every April, depending on soil wettability and climate. The emphasis is on watering at flowering and bud stage, which requires a lot of water.

Although lavender does not need much fertilizer to grow, extra topdressing can be carried out in order to promote growth and improve quality.

The temperature is very low in winter, so we should pay attention to overwintering management, irrigate the overwintering water in November and surround it with soil to ensure that the bottom is not damaged by freezing. Before watering anti-clean water in spring next year, it is necessary to peel off the soil and release seedlings in time to prevent the branches and leaves of lavender from becoming moldy and rotting in the soil.

5. Pest control

The common diseases of lavender are root rot, leaf spot, Fusarium oxysporum, etc., and red spiders and jumping armour are also common. Usually, we must pay attention to observe the growth of lavender, and if we find symptoms, we should take the right medicine in time to prevent and cure it, so as to avoid the phenomenon of poor growth and death of lavender.
