Very helpful; thank you. At our house, I am in charge of all of the houseplants and my husband is in charge of outdoor landscaping. We've recently put a bunch of planters on our back deck (which gets a nice amount of sun/East facing) and he is having trouble with the lavender. I am going to try your tips the next time he brings one home. I baby my plants more than he does, so sometimes his die but he doesn't find out why. Thanks for the tips!
I planted 300 lavender plugs and less than 100 survived. I followed all steps. My soil is a sandy well drained soil and I just dont get it. I'll try again. Wish me luck.
Hey, thanks for your comment. Normally with lavender, you need to plant more cuttings than you want/plan to have, as not all will root. With the time, it'll get better, when you feel what exactly they need more in your specific climate. ☘️ Wish you good luck - lots of it!🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
@@AnnasViolets Thank you. I am starting to see that planting with love is like cooking with love. As a chef, one must cook with love... Even thought its 300 plants, I will have to make each plant a separate beginning.
@@herringtonfarms5927 You are absolutely right. Cooking, planting, no matter what, if you do it - do it with love and enjoying it and the results will be much better 🌸☘️It will be a lot of work, starting 300 over, but it will be worth it. Lavenders are amazing plants
I heard the owner of a plant nursery say that lavender plants in pots don't need to be completely dried out, and this is because while in nature the plant can send the roots out to get water , in a pot, it's different. If there is no moisture in the pot, the lavender is going to be stressed. Another said that lavender does not like humidity in the air. it's hard to know who to listen to anymore. Everyone has different answers.
Thank you so much Anna for your wonderful tips on growing lavender plants. I will follow all your tips and Iet you know how are my lavender plants are growing.
Thank you this has helped me to understand what my lavenders need. I have sways struggled growing lavenders in pots and followed your advice. However a very small part of one of the plants has turned from a lovely green to a grey/brown dried twiggy stalk. I am assuming the root of this part of the plant has died. If so should I cut this part off at the base or just leave it? Thank you Karen
What kind of soil do I need when I repot the lavender.? Why the leaves on the bottom and outside/on the side of the cluster get withering and brown while the leaves in the center looks ok? Appreciate any help.
Hey Sam, I have specific videos about the soil and all problems you may have growing lavender, with the ways to revive them. Could you please have a look at the playlist Lavender here: ruclips.net/video/yqzpQ6DAgWM/видео.html
Thanks a ton for your invaluable information and tip for lavender. Unfortunately my Lavender plant dried and dare not buy again Lavender plant. Can you suggest good indoor plant to be purchased which will be kept in Balcony? Appreciate your early response. Regards
Hi! I bought a lavender plant and repotted it straight away. I'm keeping it on my balcony (stairs) in the sun. It's wilted a bit. Is there a chance of it waking up back to life?
Idk what is happening with my plant it was doing great after I repotted it it bloomed beautiful flowers and then after weeks the flowers started dying and the leaves have been turning and it is very hot here IN USA GA but I'm not sure if its just the next cycle of life or what I've had it for about a year now or more so this is my first successful season with flowers since I bought it last year.
If the leaves are turning, and it's very hot, it seems that the air humidity is very low for it. Could you maybe spray it often or have a humidifier next to it?
@@AnnasViolets the humidity here has been very sticky and dangerous so I think I'll move it back toward the house where I first had it and prune it back i don't keep it inside it did fine through the winter and spring on its own outside 🤷🏾♀️
I didn't get what you're supposed to do if part of the plant is burnt from being behind the windowsill in a non-humid environment. Should I move it from the window to outside? Will it adapt? Should I spray the leaves with some water everyday?
I thought I waited too long to repot (weeks) when I finally found a pot I liked my lavender still half brown half green. I trimmed off the brown (wrong move I think lol) I put outside in the summer sun and dried it out also thinking I over watered, brought it back in after a couple.weeks and still brown and green lol
I feel really lucky cuz i repoted my plants right away and wasnt very nice to them but afterwards i just occasionally sprayed the leaves and only when dry i water the soil. My only concern is my lavender isnt in a pot with a drainage hole and neither is my snakeplant. Im worried i have to repot them and itll stress them out again
OK, so I got two lavender at the grocery store. They were beautiful there. I brought them home and set them outside near where I water a bit more but because they were heavily watered at the store, I did not water them. The temperatures here got very hot (105 F 40C) and they started looking very bad within a couple of days, so decided to plant them, which I did after the sun went down. When I removed them from their pots (they were double potted at the store, both plastic), the roots were super warm and wet, even though I had not watered them. I put them in the ground, I have good drainage, kind of rocky soil with some clay which I mixed in a little amendment, but not a lot and let them sit overnight before watering. I did water them early the next morning before it got hot, and since them have just wet the foliage a little in the early morning and evening once it cools down. They really look so bad, I'm wondering if they will come back, or should I just cut my losses and try again when it's not so hot? I live in CA where we have a very mild climate, usually, but we're going through a serious heat wave now.
Hey Gail. I would say wait with these ones, maybe they have shock from being transported and transplanted. Maybe they'll recover. Clay will retain water for a long time actually, which is not good for lavenders. If these die, maybe it's a good idea to wait and buy the other plants after the heat wave. And in general bringing them home, give them a couple of days to get used to your climate/area and only then transplant them. As for watering, usually I water mine, when the soil is completely dry. Hope this helps :)
@@AnnasViolets Yes, thank you. It was 101 yesterday so I gave them a good drink this morning. One still has some green on it, so I'll give them more time. Thank you for responding!

I'm not sure if French lavender is more sensitive to repotting. It may be that the roots were a bit damaged or maybe it acclimates to your conditions not so well. I always recommend repotting 1-2 weeks after purchase, when they adapt to our specific conditions, which are so different from greenhouses
Hi, my lavender is turning black from the tip of the leaves, and the leaves are kinda wilted. The main stem also become woody from the root and the stem around the roots are also blackened. Is this root rot ? Btw I live in tropical climate so it gets very hot and quite humid and I put the lavender outside. Thank you and great video !
Hi Sarah, yes it's still cold in Georgia, especially close to the mountains. But starting from May, it may be much warmer. I'm from Armenia, living in Germany now. We have similar weather in Armenia
Hi Anna. I purchased a lavender plant a week ago and I placed it outside. It rained for a few days the earlier part is the week, but it’s been sunny for the past 3 days. The plant has looked like it was thriving then today when I checked on it a few of the tips looked burnt and the plant just looks sad and wilted. Does that mean it’s overwatered from all the rain? Or do you have any tips or advice?
@@SugarSweetMocha Yes, I would say put it in a place, where the soil will get dry quickly. It may be too late already. So, maybe you should take the plant out of the pot and check the roots. They may be rotten
Living in a hot season country. Bought lavender plants couple of times and all lasted 2-3 weeks long. I followed sun exposure time and not water frequently as I read and watched how to grow the plant. So frustrating as I really want to grow this plant
Hey chey nocon. Maybe try to let your lavender get used to your environment first. Even though they like to grow under the direct sunlight, if they come from a greenhouse, where the air humidity is very high, they may need time to get acclimated to your environment.
Thanks. I put the last plant i bought indoor and close window with morning sun. I thought it will be good coz plant looked happy and healthy for few days. But then..
I live in hot country. I grow them outside. Trust me, they don't like "direct intense sun" or to get "bone dry" in hot (highs above 95F) dry conditions - regardless of what anyone says.
@@AnnasViolets Hi Anna's 😊thanks for reaching out back to me immediately about my lavender 💜 plant 🪴appreciate you so much on your videos 📹I will give updates coming weeks 😊
Hi Anna hope you notice my question.I bought a lavender online it arrived in a nice condition I think.I repotted it and the next morning leaves turning wilted and down though I water it after repotting.
Hi. Repotting is a big stress for lavender. Many have the same problem with lavenders. Maybe this video will help: ruclips.net/video/yqzpQ6DAgWM/видео.html. Otherwise, I would wait for a couple of days, hopefully it will recover. Do not put it under the sun now. You can bring it back to the bright place, when it's recovered.
I live in Australia and it is very hot and humid here. I bought one from the nursery. I get about 4 hours of very hot sun and it is very humid however my lavender starting to wilt and turn brown after a few days. What should I do?
Hi Jessy, underwatering is absolutely possible too. The point is to let the soil get fully dry before next watering. So, don't keep it dry for a week, but also don't keep it always slightly moist. As soon as the soil is completely dry for 1-2 days, then water it and wait again. Hope this helps 💜
@@AnnasViolets I've heard I was supposed to keep the soil moist until the plant was at least a year old and then it becomes drought tolerant so I'm confused.
My lavender plant has become almost half brown and its drying up. I bought it from Cali to New York. Can you please give me some tips to revive it? I dont want it to die. 😢
Hi Anna's 👋hi send a message since last week about my lavender 💜plant 🪴update but I cannot find 😔it so am sending another message.. my lavender I put outside still in a pot a repotted in..I do not get alot of sunshine only in the morning..my question is it's been a week now I haven't water it should I put more water💧now it's a bit dry some what damp ..also should I put more soil not sure if soil should covered all the way to the plant..thanks Anna's love ❤ your channel always 😍💐
Hi, thanks a lot for watching my videos :) If the soil is damp, it's better to wait. If your lavender doesn't have enough direct sunlight, the soil may get dry slow and there can be a risk of root rot. Also, lack of direct sunlight may cause leggy growth and your lavender will not bloom. Is it possible to move it to a sunnier place? As for the soil, you don't need to cover the whole stem, just the base, like they are normally planted is enough
@@AnnasViolets Sure Anna's am going to wake ⏰😴 super early to catch where the sun 🌞 coming frm .. and see if I can catch more sunlight ✨ oh dear what happened when winter 😳 arrived will it survive indoors Anna's? And when should it get water 💧again 🤔 thanks 😊again for the quick response 👍
@@OMEGACHILD787 In winter, they go dormant. They should stay in a cool area, with the soil just slightly moist from time to time. It will grow in winter, if you grow it indoors and if it's warm inside, but the growth will be leggy, as it will lack a lot of sun
Hello! I need help with my lavandula Stoechas, because I'm not sure what I should do. There is some weird mould, but only on the flowers. I would appreciate an advise!) Thank you💜
Hey Viktoriia, it can be fungus. I would cut the leaves, but also use some sprays against fungus. Maybe ask in the garden centers around you what they have. Also, maybe it's worth taking a picture of the damaged flowers, a close up, and show them. I assume it's a fungus, but without seeing it, it's hard to tell. I may be wrong. Please let me know what they say. :)
I received mine from Amazon and leaves look black and dead. But to touch is not dry. I'm trying to let soil dry. I figured stress from being mailed from another state
Hey Steffi, thank you so much for watching the video. It's a great success growing lavender from seeds! Please have a look at this video: ruclips.net/video/EP9AqY_OW6A/видео.html I repot lavender and talk about the soil as well

@@AnnasViolets thank you for reply It’s in pot and yesterday I brought in the the house and kept near window to get natural light Now I don’t know snow time shall I keep there heating will be on on side or I move 😊
@@yummycakes4422 That sounds not ideal for lavender :) It will not survive outside in your weather, but also inside, especially next to the heating, it will not feel good. Maybe you have a cooler place - like a basement with a window, where the temperatures are not freezing and there is a window?
I tried to grow english lavender and french, the french one is fine but the english/silver one died in 5 days :( i tried to save several cuttings and threw away the main bush, wish me luck
When you buy lavender or any plant look closely. 3 first year cuttings twisted together look like a small Bush. As they grow they constrict each other so they die. The slightly better version is where the plant multiple one year plants in one pot to make it look better, at least then you can separate them.
Thank you Anna for your videos on lavender. I am currently living in the tropical region, very humid. I notice my lavenders always wilt 2-3weeks after repotting and I have no idea why but when I plant them with cuttings they usually survive longer. Any idea or tips?
Hi LionelCasillas, maybe the issue is with the method of repotting. Lavenders suffer a lot from transplant shock. Maybe you can repot them this way: ruclips.net/video/eY17fTEWJ6k/видео.html
This is our first year growing lavender in our raised beds. I purchased 5" tall plants called Edelweiss White Lavender and they're not doing well. I made raised rows, added base layer of gravel, mixed 2/3 cotton burr compost and 1/3 sand. The other genetic Phenomenal is growing spikes already and the White Edelweiss looks slightly grey and stunted in growth. We have received lots of rain in the last few weeks, but I have not watered the plants. My english lavender is doing well in a pot and already has purple spikes. It was been 4 weeks and no spikes emerging for the white. We are in Zone 6b in Southwest Missouri. Please help!
Hey Jared, your lavender may suffer from transplant shock+overwatering due to rain. Unfortunately, in this case there is not much you can do. The best scenario will be, if the weather gets really warm, so that the soil gets dry faster. This way the plants will not get rotten. The rain is always a problem with lavenders, if they are just planted and not established yet. Another option is to take the plants out, plant them in fresh and not so wet soil (maybe even in pots) and plant them back in the raised beds, when the weather is stable warm without rains. But this is a lot of work and double stress for the plants. Hope they will recover. 🌸
Hi! As i can see we have in commun plant's passion and violet's passion 'cause is my favorite color too. Also i have a lavander little tattoo i love lavender. Thanks for sharing! 💜
Hi Anna thanks for sharing how to care for lavenders. I just bought my second lavender 2 days ago and the first one like abt a week ago. My concern is that when the sun gets too hot like at noon time where they get direct hot sun they starts to wilt I get so tempted to water them and after i water them theyre back alive again but my problem is that this happens everyday and the soil hasnt dried yet and still moist and when the hot sun comes shining thru them again they get wilted I'm afraid I might be harming them watering them everytime they get wilted.
Yes, watering seems to be too much for them. Maybe you can change their place and put them in a semi-shade. Observe how they will grow there, and if the new growth is leggy, then move to a brighter place?
Hi Waldina, there are many varieties of Lavenders, but the care is more or less the same. Some may be more tolerant of colder temperatures, but all of them don't like to be overwatered
Thank you so much, Mel! 🌸 I use sandy soil, usually it's a potting mix for succulents and cacti and I add a lot of sand (Lechuza) and perlite. I don't measure the exact proportions, but just add just approximately
THANK YOU!!!! I think you answered the problem and it's with your soil/potting recipe!!! Loving Lavender and searching for a solution for many years. You are a first with the soil recipe!!!
Hi Anna, thank you for your video! I purchased a lavender topiary plant. It was doing well for 3 days and later started to wilt. I took it outside for a while to get some sunlight and was sure to bring it back in because it has been rainy some nights. It still looks wilted. Leaves are green though. I am trying hard to revive my plant. Do you advise cutting some of the bloomed flowers?
Hey Maria, if the flowers are done blooming, you can cut them. It seems it had a shock from changing the environment. If it's not overwatered, it should recover in a couple of days. You can also check for aphids. As soon as I bring mine outside, there are tons of aphids on it, and they can suck the juice out of your plant. I treat the plants with neem oil before bringing outside.
Hi Anna, great video. I bought 5 pots of lavender from a seller and just as you said, one by one they started drooping 2 days after taking them home (so sad..) On the first day I guess I over watered them by accident, but have since stop watering and it's been a week now but they are still drooping. I'm not sure if they are dying or would they eventually revive again on their own? The leaves are still green (no signs of brown or yellow). Can I do anything to help them revive? Should I put them in the ground? They are still in their pots. Thank you so much!
Hey Hung, as it's almost October now, it really depends on your climate if you should out them in the ground or not. If it's already cold, they may not survive. In the pots, make sure the soil gets dry quick. Maybe some paper towels can help. You can put them at the bottom and on the surface of the soil so that they absorb moisture
I bought lavender plants from Home Depot and planted them in my garden the same day. OMG! No wonder they are dying. I should have waited. Thank you for the tip!!!!
Hi Anna 👋 I just commented 💖 on another post 📫love 💘your channel thanks for explaining 😊 I transfer my plant 🪴to another pot the roots coming out which I saw this video first 😲😱
@@AnnasViolets never makes it through the winter. I live in zone 4 in western massachusattes. XD can't find a hardy enough cultivar! so then I try to pot it up and bring it inside and instead it droops, "complains" about the lack of sun, and eventually falls prey to some kind of fungus or other. I've tried mulching it outside to get it to survive the winter, lots of straw, covered it in plastic, put it between larger planters for shelter, NOTHING. And I put it in a southeast facing room and it dies! Same with Rosemary!
False information from you, in fact young lavender plants love humidity and take most of the moisture from their leaves, it’s when there’s humidity AND pot watering that it’s a problem but if the garden centre is only providing humidity on the leaves without watering, that’s perfect for young lavender plants

Hi. Repotting is a big stress for lavender. Many have the same problem with lavenders. Maybe this video will help: ruclips.net/video/yqzpQ6DAgWM/видео.html. Otherwise, I would wait for a couple of days, hopefully it will recover. Do not put it under the sun now. You can bring it back to the bright place, when it's recovered.
I live in Australia and it is very hot and humid here. I bought one from the nursery. I get about 4 hours of very hot sun and it is very humid however my lavender starting to wilt and turn brown after a few days. What should I do?
Too humid is not so ideal for lavenders. How often do you water it? Maybe you overwater i?
What if it's drying out? I was told I was overwatering, so I stopped but now it looks all dry and a bit brown and stopped flowering.
Hi Jessy, underwatering is absolutely possible too. The point is to let the soil get fully dry before next watering. So, don't keep it dry for a week, but also don't keep it always slightly moist. As soon as the soil is completely dry for 1-2 days, then water it and wait again. Hope this helps 💜
@@AnnasViolets I've heard I was supposed to keep the soil moist until the plant was at least a year old and then it becomes drought tolerant so I'm confused.
My lavender plant has become almost half brown and its drying up. I bought it from Cali to New York. Can you please give me some tips to revive it? I dont want it to die. 😢
Great advice
Thank you so much! I'm happy it was useful
Can you make a video of diferent types of lavander?
Hi Waldina, sure. Would you like to see the varieties and their difference or is there something specific you would like me to include in the video?
Hi Anna's 👋hi send a message since last week about my lavender 💜plant 🪴update but I cannot find 😔it so am sending another message.. my lavender I put outside still in a pot a repotted in..I do not get alot of sunshine only in the morning..my question is it's been a week now I haven't water it should I put more water💧now it's a bit dry some what damp ..also should I put more soil not sure if soil should covered all the way to the plant..thanks Anna's love ❤ your channel always 😍💐
Hi, thanks a lot for watching my videos :) If the soil is damp, it's better to wait. If your lavender doesn't have enough direct sunlight, the soil may get dry slow and there can be a risk of root rot. Also, lack of direct sunlight may cause leggy growth and your lavender will not bloom. Is it possible to move it to a sunnier place? As for the soil, you don't need to cover the whole stem, just the base, like they are normally planted is enough
@@AnnasViolets Sure Anna's am going to wake ⏰😴 super early to catch where the sun 🌞 coming frm .. and see if I can catch more sunlight ✨ oh dear what happened when winter 😳 arrived will it survive indoors Anna's? And when should it get water 💧again 🤔 thanks 😊again for the quick response 👍
@@OMEGACHILD787 In winter, they go dormant. They should stay in a cool area, with the soil just slightly moist from time to time. It will grow in winter, if you grow it indoors and if it's warm inside, but the growth will be leggy, as it will lack a lot of sun
Hello! I need help with my lavandula Stoechas, because I'm not sure what I should do. There is some weird mould, but only on the flowers. I would appreciate an advise!) Thank you💜
Hey Viktoriia, it can be fungus. I would cut the leaves, but also use some sprays against fungus. Maybe ask in the garden centers around you what they have. Also, maybe it's worth taking a picture of the damaged flowers, a close up, and show them. I assume it's a fungus, but without seeing it, it's hard to tell. I may be wrong. Please let me know what they say. :)
Thank you
Thank you too! Do you grow Lavender?
@@AnnasViolets just planted 400. Worried about root-rot, but after 2 days they were wilting bad. I watered them well, and they perked up?
should I cut off the dry lavender flowers 💐
If you want :) Yes, a little pruning will encourage bushier growth
Oh yes, thank you so much .👏🌸
Thank you for watching, Imelda :)
When watering do I just water the soil or do I wet the plant directly?
Hey Albert, I'd suggest that you water the soil, not making the plant wet. :)
@@AnnasViolets oh ok, Thanks. I was spraying the plants.
@@rager4able If it's too hot, that's also fine :)
What can I do to “save” my lavender if the bottom is brown?
I received mine from Amazon and leaves look black and dead. But to touch is not dry. I'm trying to let soil dry. I figured stress from being mailed from another state
Yes, stress, but it may also be rotten, if it was shipped wet
Yes was wet
Dang..I repoted my lavander as soon as I bought it and its turning gray I dont know what to do
Hi mam, I grew lavender from seeds, I got 4 seedlings. Can you suggest me potting soil mix? I m new to growing Lavender.
Hey Steffi, thank you so much for watching the video. It's a great success growing lavender from seeds! Please have a look at this video: ruclips.net/video/EP9AqY_OW6A/видео.html I repot lavender and talk about the soil as well
@@AnnasViolets Thank u so much ❤️ ma'am
Thank you for sharing your ideas
I am first time in hobby of lavender plant 😊
I need help in in Canada 🇨🇦 Ontario weather is changing its falls now and winter will be on the road
So in this situation what shall I do and how much water and other things to do with my lavender plant 🪴
Waiting for your reply
Hey Noorjehan, is your pant growing in the garden or in a pot indoors?
@@AnnasViolets thank you for reply
It’s in pot and yesterday I brought in the the house and kept near window to get natural light
Now I don’t know snow time shall I keep there heating will be on on side or I move 😊
@@yummycakes4422 That sounds not ideal for lavender :) It will not survive outside in your weather, but also inside, especially next to the heating, it will not feel good. Maybe you have a cooler place - like a basement with a window, where the temperatures are not freezing and there is a window?
I tried to grow english lavender and french, the french one is fine but the english/silver one died in 5 days :( i tried to save several cuttings and threw away the main bush, wish me luck
When you buy lavender or any plant look closely.
3 first year cuttings twisted together look like a small Bush. As they grow they constrict each other so they die.
The slightly better version is where the plant multiple one year plants in one pot to make it look better, at least then you can separate them.
Thanks for sharing. 🪴
Thank you! ❤️🇺🇸
Thank you Anna for your videos on lavender.
I am currently living in the tropical region, very humid. I notice my lavenders always wilt 2-3weeks after repotting and I have no idea why but when I plant them with cuttings they usually survive longer. Any idea or tips?
Hi LionelCasillas, maybe the issue is with the method of repotting. Lavenders suffer a lot from transplant shock. Maybe you can repot them this way: ruclips.net/video/eY17fTEWJ6k/видео.html
@@AnnasViolets Thank you Anna. I will try again, this time using your method :)
@@windtalkers7 Hope it'll work for you :)
This is our first year growing lavender in our raised beds. I purchased 5" tall plants called Edelweiss White Lavender and they're not doing well. I made raised rows, added base layer of gravel, mixed 2/3 cotton burr compost and 1/3 sand. The other genetic Phenomenal is growing spikes already and the White Edelweiss looks slightly grey and stunted in growth. We have received lots of rain in the last few weeks, but I have not watered the plants. My english lavender is doing well in a pot and already has purple spikes. It was been 4 weeks and no spikes emerging for the white. We are in Zone 6b in Southwest Missouri. Please help!
Hey Jared, your lavender may suffer from transplant shock+overwatering due to rain. Unfortunately, in this case there is not much you can do. The best scenario will be, if the weather gets really warm, so that the soil gets dry faster. This way the plants will not get rotten. The rain is always a problem with lavenders, if they are just planted and not established yet.
Another option is to take the plants out, plant them in fresh and not so wet soil (maybe even in pots) and plant them back in the raised beds, when the weather is stable warm without rains. But this is a lot of work and double stress for the plants.
Hope they will recover. 🌸
should I mist my lavender often instead of watering it?
Hey Rosemary, I don't mist mine. As they like to get rotten rotten easily, I keep them on a drier side in terms of watering and misting
@@AnnasViolets ah ok got it thank you!
@@rosemaryvalenzuela5032 always welcome :)
Hi! As i can see we have in commun plant's passion and violet's passion 'cause is my favorite color too. Also i have a lavander little tattoo i love lavender. Thanks for sharing! 💜
It's really cool! 💜💜💜
Hi Anna thanks for sharing how to care for lavenders. I just bought my second lavender 2 days ago and the first one like abt a week ago. My concern is that when the sun gets too hot like at noon time where they get direct hot sun they starts to wilt I get so tempted to water them and after i water them theyre back alive again but my problem is that this happens everyday and the soil hasnt dried yet and still moist and when the hot sun comes shining thru them again they get wilted I'm afraid I might be harming them watering them everytime they get wilted.
Yes, watering seems to be too much for them. Maybe you can change their place and put them in a semi-shade. Observe how they will grow there, and if the new growth is leggy, then move to a brighter place?
@@AnnasViolets Thanks Anna I'll give it a try.

Glad it helped🪴
Now my question is, are all lavander treat it the same way? As I have an English Lavander. Thank you for this video!
Hi Waldina, there are many varieties of Lavenders, but the care is more or less the same. Some may be more tolerant of colder temperatures, but all of them don't like to be overwatered
Hi!! Plz recommend the potting mix you use 😊 Great video!
Thank you so much, Mel! 🌸 I use sandy soil, usually it's a potting mix for succulents and cacti and I add a lot of sand (Lechuza) and perlite. I don't measure the exact proportions, but just add just approximately
THANK YOU!!!! I think you answered the problem and it's with your soil/potting recipe!!! Loving Lavender and searching for a solution for many years. You are a first with the soil recipe!!!
@@pamelakelley4266 Thank you so much! I appreciate it a lot and I'm very happy it was useful. :)
@@pamelakelley4266 Thank you so much! 😊
Leaves become thin, why
I assume it's because lack of light. Maybe it sees even some sun. But they need a long period of sunny day, like 6 hours at least
My lavender looks good on the outside but the inside looks blackish or woody or grayish.
Maybe you can cut what doesn't look good and trim it a bit.
So are u saying don't plant them in your garden?
I believe I haven't said yet :) You can grow lavender either in the garden or in a pot
mine dried up and died i lost hope but it re grew im hPpy
Someyimes, it's challenging to grow lavender, but with the time you can kind of feel what it needs
Hi Anna, thank you for your video!
I purchased a lavender topiary plant. It was doing well for 3 days and later started to wilt. I took it outside for a while to get some sunlight and was sure to bring it back in because it has been rainy some nights. It still looks wilted. Leaves are green though. I am trying hard to revive my plant. Do you advise cutting some of the bloomed flowers?
Hey Maria, if the flowers are done blooming, you can cut them. It seems it had a shock from changing the environment. If it's not overwatered, it should recover in a couple of days. You can also check for aphids. As soon as I bring mine outside, there are tons of aphids on it, and they can suck the juice out of your plant. I treat the plants with neem oil before bringing outside.
Hi Anna, great video. I bought 5 pots of lavender from a seller and just as you said, one by one they started drooping 2 days after taking them home (so sad..) On the first day I guess I over watered them by accident, but have since stop watering and it's been a week now but they are still drooping. I'm not sure if they are dying or would they eventually revive again on their own? The leaves are still green (no signs of brown or yellow). Can I do anything to help them revive? Should I put them in the ground? They are still in their pots. Thank you so much!
Hey Hung, as it's almost October now, it really depends on your climate if you should out them in the ground or not. If it's already cold, they may not survive.
In the pots, make sure the soil gets dry quick. Maybe some paper towels can help. You can put them at the bottom and on the surface of the soil so that they absorb moisture
I bought lavender plants from Home Depot and planted them in my garden the same day. OMG! No wonder they are dying. I should have waited. Thank you for the tip!!!!
Yes, all plants need a couple of days to get used to the new conditions
I bought some too but did not plant them right away and they look dried and dead. I’m planting them tomorrow, hopefully they’re still alive.
My lavender is half green or half brown
Hi Anna 👋 I just commented 💖 on another post 📫love 💘your channel thanks for explaining 😊 I transfer my plant 🪴to another pot the roots coming out which I saw this video first 😲😱
Hi Born Star, thank you so much! Yes, if the roots are coning out of the pot, they need repotting☘️
Lovely 💓💓💓💓💓🌹🤗
Thanks 🌺🌸 Do you grow lavender?
I repotted mine and it lost all scent to it
How is that possible? 🤔
@@AnnasViolets apparently if the soil is to fertile it’ll lose the ability to produce the oils to have that aroma

what if you're putting them in a garden bed?
@@AnimeShinigami13 It depends on the problem you have with the lavender that grows in the garden
@@AnnasViolets never makes it through the winter. I live in zone 4 in western massachusattes. XD can't find a hardy enough cultivar! so then I try to pot it up and bring it inside and instead it droops, "complains" about the lack of sun, and eventually falls prey to some kind of fungus or other. I've tried mulching it outside to get it to survive the winter, lots of straw, covered it in plastic, put it between larger planters for shelter, NOTHING. And I put it in a southeast facing room and it dies! Same with Rosemary!
@@AnimeShinigami13 Yes, they don't survive in colder climates. Maybe when it grows leggy indoors, trim it in the spring? At least it will survive
False information. Lavander doesn't like humidity. At least most of the varieties.
False information from you, in fact young lavender plants love humidity and take most of the moisture from their leaves, it’s when there’s humidity AND pot watering that it’s a problem but if the garden centre is only providing humidity on the leaves without watering, that’s perfect for young lavender plants
Hello,
This was helpful as I was given one from a nursery. I noted to allow plants to adapt to new environment. Thanks🌱🪴.
Yes, it's important for all plants. Hope your lavender will be thriving
