What to Do When Lavender (Fernleaf Lavender) Wilts? Cause Analysis and Remedies

1. Improper Watering

Although it is both cold- and heat-tolerant, it is very sensitive to water. So when growing this kind of lavender, you must be careful when watering and never pour water onto the leaves, otherwise the leaves of the flowers may wilt and turn black.

2. Caused by Sudden Environmental Changes

Another reason this plant's leaves suddenly wilt is a sudden change in its growing environment. Any plant that has grown used to one environment will certainly need some time to adapt when suddenly moved to another place. Of course, this situation won't cause any major problems; after about three to five days, once the plant gradually gets used to it, it will naturally recover.

3. Failure to Provide Shade in Summer

This plant is a full-sun plant, but you should know that in summer the sunlight is excessively scorching and the plant will certainly not be able to take it. Without proper shading, the plant's leaves will definitely be scorched and then wilt, so fellow gardeners must remember to provide shade in summer!

4. Unreasonable Fertilizing

The unreasonable fertilizing mentioned here mainly refers to concentration. You should know that if the concentration of flower fertilizer is too high, it will directly burn the root system. In this case, it will directly affect the absorption of nutrients, and when nutrients are not transported properly, the result visible above the potting soil is wilting and yellowing leaves. To grow fernleaf lavender well, a fertilizer concentration of one percent is enough when feeding. In addition, you should also control the proportion of nitrogen fertilizer; too much may very likely cause leggy growth and reluctance to bloom.

5. Pests and Diseases

If you want to prevent this, pay attention to ventilation in daily care, then water reasonably, and do not let the growing environment become too humid. Once you find pests or diseases on the plant, promptly prune or apply pesticide to treat it, so as to prevent it from worsening and affecting the plant's health.

The above are several causes that easily make the plant wilt. Fellow gardeners who have made the above mistakes should correct them in time, so that the flowers can grow healthily and stay far away from wilting!
