Care Tips for Your French Lavender

To ensure your French Lavender thrives, consider these essential care guidelines:

• Light: Requires full sun, with a minimum of 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. For indoor growing, place near a bright south-facing window or use a grow light.
• Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Young starter plants need slightly moist soil, but avoid sogginess. Established plants should be watered every 7-10 days, increasing frequency during hot summers. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy or gritty soil. An ideal mix consists of 50% potting mix, 30% sand/perlite, and 20% compost (optional). The optimal pH level is slightly alkaline, around 7.0–8.0.
• Temperature: The ideal growing range is 60–80°F (15–27°C). This plant is not cold hardy and needs protection from frost. Bring it indoors if temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C).
