Lavender is mostly planted in spring, and the temperature should be higher than 8℃, otherwise it will be difficult for the seeds to develop. Before planting, prepare containers and paper towels. After sterilizing them with hot water, wait for the water temperature to drop to room temperature, and then put the seeds inside to germinate. Use loose and fertile sandy loam soil as the substrate, place the germinated seeds on it and cover it with fine soil. Pour an appropriate amount of water and wait for it to emerge. During this period, avoid direct light.

1. Planting time

1. Planting time

Lavender is usually planted in spring. Although the adult plants of this plant have a certain tolerance for high and low temperatures, the seeds and seedlings still prefer warm climates. If the temperature is below 8°C, it will be difficult for the seeds to germinate. High temperature and strong light can easily sunburn the seedlings, which is not conducive to their subsequent growth, so they are rarely planted in winter and summer.

2. Seed selection and germination

Lavender seeds are relatively small and generally need to be germinated before planting. There are many methods of germination, the most commonly used is the tissue germination method. Prepare a container and paper towels, sterilize them with boiling water, wait until the water temperature drops, place the seeds on top, and cover them with a layer of plastic film. In order to ensure breathability, you can poke a few holes in the film and it will sprout soon.

3. Pot soil preparation

Lavender is suitable for growing in loose and fertile soil, so potting soil should be prepared with garden soil and river sand. If possible, you can add a little peat soil, which is a very good substrate. In order to avoid the presence of pathogenic bacteria or insect eggs in the soil, you can first spread the substrate in a sunny place to dry, and then collect it and put it in a pot.

4. Sowing and maintenance

Put the germinated lavender seeds on the soil surface and cover them with a layer of fine soil. After sowing, water thoroughly to ensure the soil is moist in the early stage. Place the flower pot in a semi-shady place to avoid sunlight, which may be detrimental to plant development. After the seedlings grow, you can add water appropriately and apply some nitrogen fertilizer to it.
