How to raise lavender (explain lavender conservation knowledge in detail)

Lavender is native to the Mediterranean coast and widely cultivated in Britain and France. Its flowers are like ears of wheat and smell very fragrant, so it is called a quiet perfume plant. Lavender likes alkaline loose soil and needs long-term illumination all year round. Because of its strong heat and cold tolerance, it is not difficult to breed. The following introduces the breeding method of lavender.

1. Land

Lavender is different from many plants, and it is more suitable to grow in alkaline loose sand than acid soil. For family farming, perlite, vermiculite and sphagnum can be mixed according to the ratio of 1: 1: 1. This kind of soil is loose, breathable and drainable, and some substances in it also have a certain effect on eliminating pests in the soil.

2. Sunshine time

Lavender is a full-day plant, so it is more suitable for outdoor cultivation than indoors. If it is cultivated indoors, it should be placed on the window sill facing south, so that you can fully enjoy the sunshine. Light is very important to lavender. If the light is insufficient, it will grow, but the number of flowers will be significantly reduced. In addition, in midsummer, it should be placed in a semi-cloudy and semi-bright place. Although this will inhibit its growth to a certain extent, it can ensure that it will not be damaged by too strong light.

3. Temperature

Lavender has good heat resistance and cold resistance. But the optimum growth temperature is between 15-25℃. Generally, it will not have much influence on its growth between 5-30 degrees Celsius. 35 degrees Celsius, no problem for a short time, but for too long, the leaves will turn dark yellow and the stems will wither. In the winter dormancy period, the low temperature of-25 degrees Celsius to-20 degrees Celsius will not have any effect on it.
