After lignification of lavender, if it develops well, new branches will grow at the bottom, but it is generally difficult to see.It belongs to deciduous shrubs, so lignification is a normal performance, through pruning can slow down the process of lignification, but it is impossible to completely avoid.Lignification has little effect on plant growth, but the leaves at the bottom will fall off and reduce its ornamental value.
In order to prevent the lignification of lavender, the first step is to top it. Generally, when it grows to about 10 centimeters, the terminal bud should be removed, so that the nutrients will not be supplied to the top all the way, thus avoiding the lignification of the stem.In addition, but also regularly cut a cut, generally cut once a week, each time can be trimmed 0.5 cm.
1. Reduce light: Lavender likes light, but long-term exposure to light will accelerate the lignification of the plant, so it is necessary to control the light time every day, as long as it receives 6 hours of light, its growth can be satisfied.If it is in summer, but also to give it appropriate shade, to avoid exposure, every morning or evening light can be.
2. Increase ventilation: Another reason for lignification of lavender is poor ventilation, especially poor ventilation at the root, which can easily cause its leaves to fall off and the stem to gradually lignify.Therefore, we must put the plant in a place with good air circulation, and use loose and fertile soil, which is also conducive to root breathing.
