You Won’t Believe How Fast Lavender Grows… With Just One Tiny Tweak!

Have you ever dreamt of having a garden full of beautiful, fragrant lavender? Today, I’m going to show you how to multiply lavender plants incredibly fast using a simple technique. With just one small tweak, you’ll be on your way to a flourishing lavender garden.

How to Multiply Lavender with Green Stems

The secret to faster lavender growth lies in using completely green stems. When a lavender plant is in full bloom, it’s tempting to take cuttings with flowers. However, if you want speedier growth, opt for a green stem without a flower. This allows the energy to focus on root and canopy formation.

Steps for Successful Propagation

Start by sterilizing your scissors with 70% alcohol. Look for green stems and avoid those already blooming. Choose stems from plants not yet in flower for the best results.

• Cut all the flowers and retain the green stem if the plant is already flowering.
• Make sure to keep your cuttings hydrated, especially on hot days.
• Store cuttings in a cool and shaded area if you don’t plan to use them immediately.

Choosing the Right Substrate

Whether you make your own or buy it, the substrate is crucial. For DIY, combine four parts black soil with one part sand. Alternatively, purchase a mix containing perlite, compost, and coco fiber to better retain moisture.

Using the Ideal Containers

Plastic trays with perforations work well, but you can also use pots covered with a half bottle to maintain humidity. For larger-scale propagation, consider a makeshift mini-greenhouse.

Rooting Agents to Boost Growth

Consider cinnamon and aloe vera as natural rooting agents. Mix dried aloe vera with cinnamon and use it to coat the base of each cutting to promote root growth.

Preparing the Lavender Stems

Remove leaves from the bottom of each stem and make a diagonal cut for maximum rooting surface area.

• Don’t overcrowd the substrate when planting.
• After applying rooting agent, plant the stems at a depth of 2-3 cm.

Acclimating and Transplanting New Lavender Plants

Once you notice new shoots, start reducing humidity gradually. For transplanting, wait until you see new roots or ample new growth.

Use pots with proper drainage and handle roots with care during the transplant process. Ensure you water them adequately, allowing for fast drainage to prevent root damage.
