How to Grow Lavender at Home - Hamari Duniya Pak
Lavender is a beautiful and fragrant herb that is easy to grow at home. Here are some steps you can take to grow lavender:
Choose the right location: Lavender prefers a sunny location with well-draining soil. Make sure the area gets at least 6 hours of sunlight per day.
Prepare the soil: Lavender likes soil that is slightly alkaline, with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. If your soil is too acidic, add some lime to the soil. Mix in some compost or well-rotted manure to the soil to improve its texture and fertility.
Plant the lavender: Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the root ball of the lavender plant. Place the plant in the hole and backfill with soil. Make sure the plant is planted at the same level as it was in its container.
Water the lavender: Water the lavender immediately after planting, and then water it deeply once a week. Make sure the soil is moist but not waterlogged.
Mulch the lavender: Mulch around the lavender with a layer of organic matter, such as straw or shredded leaves. This will help retain moisture in the soil and suppress weeds.
Prune the lavender: Lavender should be pruned every year to keep it compact and bushy. Prune in the spring before new growth appears. Cut back about one-third of the plant's growth, being careful not to cut into the woody part of the stem.
Harvest the lavender: Lavender can be harvested when the flowers are in full bloom. Cut the stems just above the leaves and hang them upside down to dry. Once dry, the flowers can be used for sachets, potpourri, or cooking.
To develop lavender, the main way is to purchase plants and relocate them at a radiant all around depleted place of your field, ideally 3 a month after the previous winter ice. The subsequent way is to take cuttings from a flourishing plant during May-June, plant them in pots with extraordinary combination, and when they root, relocate them in bigger pots or straightforwardly in the field.
Picking the right cuttings of lavender is certifiably not a simple technique. It requires experience that is gathered through a "experimentation" course. We for the most part pick solid youthful branches. It is great to take cuttings not long before the plant blossoms. Cuttings should be 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) long.

We eliminate the leaves at the last 2/3 of the stem (the part that will be placed in the pot). Numerous ranchers utilize extraordinary establishing powders, yet you can initially check it out normally. The pots will contain a 3 section blend, 1/3 peat greenery, 1/3 vermiculite and 1/3 business fertilized soil. We water regularly, yet just when the pot is dry.
Cuttings will normally establish in 4 a month and a half. During this period, the pots should be put in a warm spot without openness to coordinate daylight. A few ranchers put a nylon pack at the highest point of the pot, which then, at that point, capacities as a nursery. After the 4 a month and a half establishing period, we cautiously eliminate any blossoms, since they will dial back the plant's turn of events.
At the point when we see that our cuttings have laid out a root framework, we can relocate them in a radiant and very much depleted spot of our field. On the other hand, a few ranchers like to keep them inside, so they can encounter their first winter in a safeguarded climate.
Remember to inundate the plants just when the dirt is dry. We can water utilizing the drop by drop method and flood in the base of the plant rather than splashing from upward.
