Lavender

Well lavender is one of the most beautiful flowers with a very delightful smell. I have found this article. Hope you learn a lot from the article



Lavender garden beds not only smell gorgeous, the herb helps repel mosquitoes. Learn how to propagate lavender in your garden…
Propagating lavender plants from one lavender bush is a great way to start a lavender line pathway or full garden bed of lavender without spending a cent!
Simply snip a few green lavender cuttings and either plant the cuttings in a pot of potting soil, watering daily for two weeks, or pop the cuttings ins glasses of water and wait for roots to sprout.
If you decide to place lavender cuttings in water, avoid bunching too many cuttings into one glass as they may become tangled when the roots grow. Place the glasses of cuttings on a sunny windowsill, top up with water whenever necessary and change the water before it becomes murky.
Each cutting should start sprouting roots in a few weeks. Once the cuttings have established root networks, plant the cuttings in pots and allow them to grow for a few more weeks before planting them in the garden.
Once a lavender plant is established, water once or twice a week. Lavender plants enjoy the sun and don't like to be over-watered, making them the ideal addition to a eco-friendly, water-wise garden!
