How to propagate lavender? There are three ways: simple, quick and easy.

Lavender propagation:

  1. Propagation with seeds:
  • Ideal period: Mid-February – March.
  • Mix 1 part sand with 3 parts moist substrate.
  • Distribute the seeds on the surface of the soil and cover them with a thin layer of soil.
  • Place the container in a bright and warm place (20 °C).
  • Keep the soil moist by spraying water regularly. You can cover the container with cellophane to maintain the ideal climate.
  • Transplant the young plants (about 3 cm high) into containers or flowerbeds with specific substrate for lavender.
  1. Propagation with cuttings:
  • Ideal period: April – June.
  • Use branches without flowers of about 10 cm from the mother plant.
  • Remove the leaves from the lower part, leaving 4-5 on the upper part.
  • Optionally, soak the cuttings in a rooting stimulant before planting them in a moist substrate mixed with sand.
  • Transplant the rooted seedlings into pots once ready. Then, once strengthened, plant them in a protected place.
  1. Propagation by Layering:
  • Bend a branch of the mother plant and cover it with soil, leaving the upper part exposed.
  • Water regularly.
  • The branches will form roots in a few weeks, creating new lavender plants.

These simple propagation methods will allow you to enjoy the benefits of lavender in an effective and rewarding way.
