Lavender angustifolia is replanted once every 3-4 years, when it grows and begins to take up too much space. Transplantation is carried out in the spring.
7. Diseases and pests
Lavender angustifolia is resistant to diseases and pests.
8. Reproduction
Lavender angustifolia propagates by seeds, dividing the bush and cuttings.
By seeds: Angustifolia lavender seeds are sown in open ground in spring or autumn. The seeds germinate within a few weeks.
Dividing the bush: Dividing the bush is carried out in spring or autumn. The bush is dug up, divided into several parts and planted in prepared holes.
By cuttings: Lavender angustifolia cuttings are cut in spring or summer. The cuttings are planted in a substrate consisting of peat and sand and kept at a temperature of 18-20°C. The cuttings take root within a few weeks.
Additional Tips
