How to sow lavender seeds after buying them

Sowing time

Lavender is a beautiful flower that can be propagated by sowing, either in spring or autumn. In spring, it is mainly concentrated in March to May, and in autumn it is mainly concentrated in September to October. The flowering period is generally in spring and summer, and it is necessary to harvest in time.

Sowing method

When sowing lavender, you must first prepare the potting soil. Put an appropriate amount of nutrient soil in a small pot, and make sure to fill it to 70% to 80%. The soil should be a little loose, and then water it thoroughly before sowing.

A certain amount of light needs to be maintained during sowing and germination. There is no need to cover the soil after sowing, but you can cover it with a layer of plastic film to keep it moist. Keep the germination temperature at 18-24℃ and it will germinate in 2-3 weeks.

After germination, water when the soil is dry and gradually increase the light intensity. If it is in the southern region, it is best to provide appropriate shading and increase ventilation in summer to ensure that it spends the summer safely. In autumn and winter, appropriate supplementary lighting is needed.

When watering lavender, water it thoroughly and wait until the soil is completely dry before watering again. When applying fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus fertilizer should be used as the main fertilizers.
