Lavender planting guide
Today, I will elaborate on how to plant lavender and share experience on the green plant maintenance aspects of lavender's growing environment and conditions. Next, the editor will introduce.
1. Prepare potting soil: The cultivation soil should be well ventilated and thoroughly disinfected before use. For ground planting, loosen the soil and remove impurities.
2. Seed treatment: Clean the impurities on the seed coat and soak in 40℃ water, then soak for 24 hours after the water cools.
3. Sowing: Sow the seeds in the soil, cover them with soil 2-3 times the diameter of the seeds, and maintain a temperature of 20℃.
4. Planting management: After the seedlings emerge, thin them appropriately to keep the strong seedlings, and keep the soil moist after transplanting.
I. Preparing potting soil
Since lavender seeds are very small and the germination rate is relatively low, the sowing soil should be loose and well-ventilated, and also needs to be thoroughly disinfected to prevent bacterial growth. The soil mixture can be made of peat, sphagnum moss, perlite, and vermiculite, and the pot should have good drainage and breathability. If it is planted in the ground, the soil should be loosened first and impurities removed.
II. Seed treatment
Select mature high-quality seeds, clean the impurities on the seed coat with water, and treat the seeds before sowing. First, soak in 40℃ water, and continue to soak when the water cools, for about 24 hours, which will help them germinate faster.
III. Sowing
Sow the treated seeds in the soil and cover them, with the thickness of the soil being 2-3 times the diameter of the seeds. If the seeds are very small, the covering soil should be relatively thin to make it easier for the seeds to germinate. Conversely, if the seeds are large, the covering soil can be thicker. After sowing, you can cover with plastic film to keep warm and increase humidity. If the temperature after sowing is around 20℃, the seedlings will emerge in less than a week, and the seedlings will be full in about one week. After the seedlings emerge, promptly remove the plastic film and spray a moderate amount of fungicides to prevent seedling rot.
IV. Planting management
After the seeds have germinated, thin the seedlings appropriately according to the planting, keeping the stronger ones. As the seedlings grow, they should be exposed to light appropriately to ensure a warm environment and provide scattered light. The temperature after transplanting should be around 10-15℃, keeping the soil moist but not overwatered.
