Lavender is one of those few plants that grow well in a pot. Also, when you move the pot around, it can give a fresh feel to your place and the fragrance can make your home feel heavenly. The first step to growing in a pot is to choose the right pot size and the putting mix you should use. Lavender is one of those plants that need water, but don't like dampness all through the day. So, your pot should have good drainage. Hence, pick a pot that has many holes in it.
Every plant needs the right amount of water and sunshine to grow. Lavenders need a lot of sunlight, so keep them in a place where there are at least about eight hours of sunlight in a day. Also, it doesn't need a lot of water, so use them sparingly. In fact, it is a good idea to allow the soil to dry out a bit before watering them again. But remember, don't allow it to get too dry as the plant will start wilting.
Lavender and Lavandin are similar flowers and in fact, the latter is also called as french lavender. The difference is in the aroma as french lavender has a slightly stronger smell and that's why it is used extensively in the perfumes industry. While the difference is not much, there can be some difference in the way you care for the plant, so knowing what you're growing is important.
Undoubtedly, the fragrance of lavender can blow you away. This is why you can keep them fresh in your living room and even make a potpourri out of it after the flowers have dried. If you're interested, you can even see how to make perfumes from your lavenders, so you can use them for a longer time.
The first step to understand is that not all seeds will turn into plants. Also, the chances of success depend to a large extent on the type of lavender plant you want to grow. So, if this is not for you or if you want a specific type of lavender plant, cuttings are your best bet.
If you're planting seeds, put them in a shallow tray and cover it lightly with soil. When they start sprouting and after growing a few leaves, replant them. Alternately, you can plant a cutting or a grown plant.
Great! Take care of your plant well and soon, you should have a bunch of lavender flowers that can add beauty and fragrance to your home.
