The light should be suitable. Avoid strong light at the initial stage and full day light at the later stage. Water properly and thoroughly every time. The temperature is 15 to 25 degrees, not too low. Its flowering period is in summer, so it should be properly pruned in autumn after flowering. There may be some diseases and insect pests, so we need to use medicine regularly to prevent them.

A suitable light

In autumn, it's very important to keep the proper light, because lavender has high requirements for light, which can neither be too weak nor too strong. Therefore, avoid direct too strong light in the early autumn. At the end of autumn, sufficient light should be provided. Even in the coming winter, it is possible to provide all day light

2. Proper amount of water

Lavender itself likes a slightly dry environment and is afraid of waterlogging. Therefore, when replenishing water in autumn, we should pay attention to wait for the soil to dry before pouring. Note that each time pouring, do not half through, it is better to fully through, but do not water.

3. Suitable temperature

The most suitable range is 15 to 25 degrees. The temperature should not be too low at the end of autumn. Lavender will be dormant under zero.

4. Trim properly

Lavender flowers mainly in summer, so autumn may be at the end of its flowering. So it's best to trim it once in this period. In addition to cutting off all the remaining flowers, it is also necessary to properly prune the unsuitable branches, such as those with diseases and pests, dry branches or those affecting the overall ornamental. Pruning is not only helpful for the growth in autumn, but also for the winter.
