Below, the editor will teach you how to raise potted lavender and teach you to decorate your home with lavender flowers.

What should we do when potted lavender:

Pot planting must need well-drained soil (generally potted soil, add some sand and very fine gravel) the drainage hole should be unobstructed (the drainage hole at the bottom of the basin should be large, it is better to put one or two inches of stone at the bottom to help drain the water.) . Because lavender likes alkaline soil, a small tablespoon of hydrated lime can be added appropriately when planting. When potted, you can give a little bit of long-acting slow-release fertilizer, remember not too much, because lavender likes poor soil.

Don't worry that the pot is too small when potted, because lavender likes to grow its roots in a crowded environment. As long as there is one or two inches of room for growth at the root. On the contrary, if the basin is too large, it will cause the soil to be too moist and rot the roots. Because the roots grow fast, the pots can be changed every year.

Watering: lavender does not require much water, it is best to put it outdoors in summer, and it is best to accept eight hours of sunlight a day, but it is necessary to replenish water in time to prevent the soil from being completely dry, which is different from planting, so it is necessary to detect whether the basin soil needs water in time. When the soil is about one centimeter dry, it can be watered. The topsoil needs watering only when the topsoil is two centimeters dry in winter.

Pruning: trim every spring, cutting off the upper 1/3 of the length, not to the woody, thicker part of the base. Of course, cutting in autumn is better than in spring. If you see that green buds have appeared at the base, be careful not to cut them off.

Reproduction: lavender is easy to reproduce, a simple way is to press strips. Choose a healthy new branch, cut a thin knife more than ten inches from the base, bury it in the soil, and press it with stones. It will soon take root and become a new plant.

Spend the winter: in winter, you can put the basin in a place that will not freeze.
