The environment that can give full sunlight is the best. Half sunlight can also grow, but flowering is rare. In summer, at least 50% of sunlight should be blocked, and ventilation should be increased to reduce ambient temperature, so that although growth is weak, it will not die. Lavender can grow well on flat ground in winter and should be cultivated under full sunlight.

3. Watering

Lavender does not require much moisture. It is best to put it outdoors in summer, and it is best to accept eight hours of sunshine a day, but it is necessary to replenish it in time. After watering once, water should be given when the soil is dry, and the surface culture medium is dry, the internal moisture is low, and the leaves are slightly wilted. Watering in the morning, avoid sunlight, water do not splash on leaves and flowers, otherwise perishable and breeding pests. One thing to note is that too wet soil can cause the whole plant to die.

4. Temperature

Lavender is semi-heat resistant, cool, warm in winter and cool in summer, suitable for growth: 15~25℃, can grow at 5~30℃. Limit temperature: above 35℃, long-term higher than 38~40℃ top stem and leaf withered. Dormancy begins when the temperature is below 0℃ for a long time in winter in North China, and the seedlings can tolerate low temperature of-20~-25℃ when they are dormant.

5, pruning

Trim once a year in the spring, cutting off about the upper third of the length, not to the base wood, thicker parts. Of course autumn is better than spring. If you see green buds at the base, be careful not to cut them off. After finishing how to raise lavender, now let's take a look at the precautions for cultivating lavender.
