In summer, the flowers of lavender plants are beautiful and refreshing for several months.

When it comes to summer, people always think of heat, irritability and even listlessness, which are our worst enemies at work. So how to deal with it? Many friends will choose to keep one or two plants on their desk to adjust their mood, so which kind of plant is the most suitable? in fact, there are many choices, but if you are still struggling, you might as well learn what the editor recommended for you today.

Today, the plant we would like to recommend to you for growing on your desk is the famous lavender. Lavender flowers show a single purple, it is easy to think of a variety of romantic plots. Of course, this only reflects its special advantage in "appearance". In fact, its calming fragrance can also give you a trace of spiritual comfort after busy work, so as to improve work efficiency.

Office lavender furnishings are easy to find. We can buy them on the e-commerce website. Of course, by comparison, the editor still hopes that you can cultivate one with your own hands, on the one hand, you can experience an unprecedented sense of achievement, and on the other hand, it is really easy to raise.

If you want to grow lavender, you need to solve the two problems of "pot" and "soil" first. The former should pay attention to that it is not suitable to use a large flowerpot in the new bud state, which may cause the pot soil to be too wet and eventually lead to rotting roots. As for the latter, it can be properly prepared according to the habits of lavender. Slightly alkaline or neutral sandy soil is the most suitable, of course, the required medium needs to have good drainage, can be used after mixing perlite, vermiculite and peat moss. If it is cultivated in the open field, we should pay attention to the drainage of the soil, and the soil can be piled high into a bed before planting.

When you plant lavender in a basin, watering becomes the next concern. Because lavender does not like the retention of water in the roots, it is best to wait until the soil is completely dry after watering. Watering should be in the morning to avoid direct sunlight, while watering should be careful not to splash water on leaves and flowers, otherwise it is perishable and breeds diseases and insect pests

Lavender itself is a semi-heat-resistant plant, like two pairs, warm in winter and cool in summer, the suitable growth temperature: 15: 25 ℃, can grow at 5: 30 ℃. The limiting temperature is above 35 ℃, which is higher than 38-40 ℃ for a long time. The top stem and leaf are withered and yellow. In northern China, dormancy begins when it is below 0 ℃ for a long time in winter, and the seedlings can tolerate a low temperature of-20 ℃ per square meter during dormancy.

If you want to plant a lavender, please give it a little more sunshine. Lavender is an all-day plant, which needs plenty of sunlight and humid environment. The environment that can give full sunshine is better. Half-day sunshine can also grow, but flowering is rare. Summer should cover at least 50% of the sun and increase ventilation to lower the ambient temperature, so that although the growth is weak, it does not die. Lavender can grow well on flat land in winter and should be cultivated under full-day sunshine.

If you have done well in the previous steps, I believe you have already harvested a good lavender, but there is still one last step in the long March, and pruning is naturally not sloppy as a finishing step. After flowering, the plant must be pruned, and the plant can be pruned to the original 2umber 3, so that the plant type will be stronger and conducive to growth. Pruning in the cold season such as spring and autumn, generally pruning in spring, pruning in autumn will affect the cold resistance. Be careful not to cut the lignified part when pruning, so as not to weaken the plant and die.
