1. Sufficient light: For any plant, light is helpful for flowering, and lavender is no exception. Ensuring sufficient light can allow better differentiation of flower buds, thereby promoting plant flowering. If the environment is too dark, it will grow leggy and not only fail to bloom, it will also look unsightly.

2. Appropriate fertilization: Lavender needs certain nutrients to bloom. So fertilize properly. Fertilizers are usually phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, which can promote flowering. The amount of nitrogen fertilizer must be controlled during the growth process, otherwise it will also affect the flowering of the plants.

3. Suitable temperature: Lavender will bud in an environment of 25-30℃, and the plants will bloom when the temperature is between 20-22℃. If the temperature is too low or too high, it will not help the flowers bloom. Therefore, in high-temperature areas, water should be sprayed to cool down, and in low-temperature areas, appropriate insulation is required.
