Lavender Plant

Growing Environment

• Best Suited for Indoor Growing: Lavender prefers bright, sunny indoor spaces with good airflow.
• Outdoor Option: Thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it ideal for gardens and patios.

Light Requirements

• Optimal Light: Requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth.
• Tip: If indoors, place near a south-facing window to maximize sunlight exposure.

Watering

• Frequency: Water every 1-2 weeks, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings.
• Method: Water thoroughly until excess drains out; avoid overwatering, as lavender prefers drier conditions.

Humidity Needs

• Ideal Humidity: Prefers low humidity, around 30-40%.
• Tip: Avoid high-humidity environments; ensure good air circulation to prevent mold.

Fertilizing

• Type: Use a slow-release fertilizer suitable for flowering herbs.
• Frequency: Feed every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
• Tip: Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to reduced fragrance and flavor.

Air Circulation

• Importance: Good air circulation helps prevent fungal diseases and promotes healthy growth.
• Tip: Place in a well-ventilated area, especially during the growing season.
