1. 🌱 How to Sow

Sow fine lavender seeds shallowly in a freely draining nursery mix; germination may be slow and uneven. Do not bury deeply; follow the seed lot’s packet guidance on any pre-treatment.

2. ☀️ Sunlight, Soil & Water

• Light: Provide bright light to seedlings and full sun to hardened, established plants; avoid prolonged humid shade.
• Soil: Use a clean, loose, fertile-enough mix with unobstructed drainage. Avoid waterlogged containers.
• Watering: Keep germinating seeds just moist; water established plants deeply but less often, allowing the surface to dry.

3. 🌿 Fertilizer & Growth Care

Use a lean, free-draining medium with minimal added nitrogen; excessive richness promotes floppy foliage.

4. 🐛 Common Pests & Prevention

Look for aphids or sap-sucking insects on soft shoots; remove affected tips early. Inspect plants weekly, remove damaged foliage and avoid automatic pesticide spraying. If treatment is required, use only a locally authorised product labelled for the edible crop and observe all label directions.

5. 🛡️ Diseases & Prevention

In humid monsoon weather, fungal root and crown rot are serious risks; prefer raised containers, generous spacing and very free-draining soil. Isolate heavily affected plants and seek local horticultural advice if symptoms spread.

6. ✂️ Harvesting / Flowering

Clip flowering stems when blooms begin opening after the plant is established. Avoid cutting into old, leafless woody stems.
