Planting lavender is generally in spring and autumn, when the temperature is between 15-30℃. Soak the seeds in clean water before sowing. After 1-2 days, take them out and place them on a wet paper towel and cover them with plastic wrap. Once they take root, you can sow them. Prepare potting soil with garden soil, peat soil and river sand, and mix it in a ratio of 5:3:2. Place the seeds on the surface of the soil, cover them with a layer of fine soil, pour a little water to moisturize them, and wait until the seeds germinate.

1. Planting time

Lavender is suitable for growing in a warm environment, so it is mostly planted in spring and autumn. The temperature in summer is too high, and strong light can easily cause sunburn in seedlings. In winter, it is too cold, and low temperature inhibits seed development. If you want to plant in these two seasons, you must control the temperature. If the temperature is between 15-30℃, it can grow normally after planting.

2. How to germinate

For To ensure that lavender seeds can germinate, germination is usually required before sowing. Soak the seeds in clean water. After 1-2 days, take them out and place them on a wet paper towel. Cover them with plastic wrap and poke a few holes in them for ventilation. Put it in a cool place and wait for roots to grow. When small white roots grow, you can sow the seeds. If germination is not performed, it may take up to a month for the seeds to take root and germinate.

3. Pot soil preparation

Lavender is suitable for growing in loose and fertile sandy loam soil. It can be prepared with garden soil, peat and sand soil, and is mixed evenly in a ratio of 5:3:2. In addition, you can also add an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to provide nutrients for plant growth. It is not advisable to use soil that is too heavy for planting, otherwise it will affect the breathing of the roots.

Four. Planting

In The bottom of the flower pot is first laid with large-grain substrate, then the prepared soil is filled into it, the seeds are placed in the middle, and the top is covered with fine soil. After planting, water a little to maintain the humidity of the environment. At the same time, avoid exposure to sunlight to prevent moisture loss too quickly. After it grows true leaves, it can be properly exposed to light and supplemented with fertilizer.
