1. Sowing time: Lavender is usually sown in April. It is easier to germinate when the temperature is between 20-25 . If the temperature is lower than 8 , the seeds cannot take root. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature is suitable.
2. Seed selection and germination acceleration: germination acceleration is required before sowing.The seeds of lavender are put in the sun, soaked in warm water at 30 C for 1-2 hours, taken out and put into wet paper towels, covered with a layer of plastic film to maintain a certain humidity.
3. Pot soil preparation: Lavender is suitable for growing in loose and fertile sandy loam. It can be prepared by mixing garden soil, peat soil and river sand in a ratio of 5:3:2.This kind of soil not only has certain nutrients, but also ensures good drainage.

1. Cuttage time: Lavender cuttage is usually carried out in spring or autumn.Because of its strong adaptability, it can also be used at other times as long as the ambient temperature is suitable.
2. Cuttings treatment: select strong and healthy branches as cuttings, the length is between 5-10 cm, pick off the leaves at the bottom, and soak them in rooting water.
3. Soil cutting: The mixture of river sand and coconut husk was used as matrix, the ratio was about 2:1.Insert the cuttings into it, put them in a well-ventilated environment, and root for two to three weeks.
Lavender seedlings can be planted in a pot with many plants, but only one plant can be planted when they grow up. Too many plants will affect their growth.Generally, after growing to a certain height, seedlings can be thinned and planted separately.
