Keep a pot of lavender at home, it blooms every year, and smells even better than perfume

?Lavender should be a flower that all girls love very much. Whether in terms of color or scent, it is irresistible. Since that is the case, why not follow Huahua and learn how to grow a pot of this plant at home!

Lavender is also a flower that symbolizes love. Its flower spikes are slender, making it look even more elegant. When the flowering season arrives, it produces those small purple flowers, and seen from afar it is simply a sea of flowers. It also has a unique fragrance and is often used to make perfume, or made into dried flowers to decorate indoor spaces.

The way to grow lavender is by sowing seeds, so we first need to prepare its seeds, which are generally available at flower markets and on websites. After getting the seeds, we should not plant them immediately. We need to give them a simple treatment first, so that after planting, the germination rate will increase. Also, try to sow in spring and autumn, because the temperature will speed up seed germination!

First soak the seeds in water for a period of time, or directly spread the seeds flat on a water-soaked paper towel, so the seeds will slowly swell up. Then you can plant the seeds into the flower pot. Remember to decide the number of seeds in the pot according to the size of the pot, and do not place them too close to each other, otherwise after they sprout you will still need to divide them.

Because its seeds are relatively small, we use soil with strong aeration for it. During this period, we also need to keep the soil moist. After about one week, you can see its sprouts come out.

At this time we need to appropriately increase the light for it, otherwise during this growth period, it may easily become leggy and lose its shape. Water only after the soil has dried thoroughly, and do not pour water on the leaves, otherwise it will easily lead to pests and diseases.

When the plant has grown to a certain extent, we can see its flower buds coming out. At this point, for those branches that have problems, be sure to cut them off in time. If there are too many flower buds, also remove some appropriately, so that those flower buds can open smoothly!

If you want to keep this beauty, you can cut a few stems of lavender, then tie them up with string and hang them in a cool place to dry. To prevent the flowers from falling off, be sure to put them in a sheltered place. If it is summer, generally after about one week the dried lavender is finished, then put it in a bottle and give it a simple decoration. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
