I have an interesting observation regarding lavender from seedlings vs cuttings. I was born in mediterranean-like climate and we had lavender commercially grown in foothills of local mountains. Then I moved to the North and I always wanted to take "a peace of home" with me... - this is how I ended up growing figs indoors, lavender, cacti... And technically lavender is possible to grow outside but I've never had luck with it. I could reliable propagate my lavender from cuttings, it grew well in summer but it was dead after first winter no matter what. I tried buying from local nursery with pretty much same result (they propagate from cuttings too). But then somehow I decided to plant it from seeds. Yes, they came out different, some have wider leaves, some narrower, some taller, some lower but they were alive after first winter and after second. Now they are in their third year and they look great. I just selected those which I liked the most and gave out the rest to my neighbors and friends. So, maybe for some people who lives in colder climate it may be useful, lavender is worth growing.

It can also change the end result depending on the genes after they peek up in their root system in a bigger and deeper soil. When plants are blooming in the first year and in a tiny pot they will give tinier blooming. But he nailed the main difference which is variable depending on your seed. I have seen people growing Lavender in France called population Lavender which has many different colors genetics blooming cycles and sizes. Very very interesting how many different varieties and variables can come out of It. I'd stick with cuttings of my favorite ones and more vigorous plants from seed.

This has been very helpful in regards to potted lavender. I've always wondered why the lavender in the nursery had algae growing on top of the soil and it was completely healthy, yet it would usually die from drying out/root rot after a couple weeks of me owning it. I've owned my current lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) for only two weeks and the stems are already turning brown (which I'm assuming is a defense to retain water) because I've been following all of the advice I've seen in other videos/websites about letting the soil get bone dry between watering. It was definitely helpful to see the new batch of lavender growing under such humid conditions. This video was much needed, thank you!

Hi Karen. I'd overwinter them in pots at this point. If they're well rooted in a small pot (I'm thinking 4" size) you probably don't need to keep them very warm. If you have a cooler room the lavender will go semi-dormant over winter.

If they're in pots it might be possible to get a look at the roots/soil for an idea of what's happening. If you tip it out of the pot and find the soil to be bone-dry that would explain the grey in the leaves. If on the other hand, you find the soil moist and the roots seem mushy (or smelly) that could be overwatering & root rot.

You made a distinction on watering between potted and outdoor lavender. Which rule do you apply to an outdoor raised bed?
@FraserValleyRoseFarm4 жыл бұрын
Here's a trick answer: either way, the goal is to give the lavender enough water so that is doesn't suffer. The "loss of luster" or any wilt on the leaves is a good sign that the plant is struggling. Lavenders in the landscape are relatively drought tolerant (vs. a rose for example) - in a raised would probably be more similar to the landscape than a smaller container.

@novahina4 жыл бұрын
What's your zone ? If It's a warmer zone then you are fine. If you are like 8-6 zone I would take the cuttings to the inside because of the snow in winter. Basically you can propagate them any time as long as they have fresh young long growth,not too old not too young. Most people take cuttings from plants when they are prunned which is ideally done right after blooming season and It takes almost a month for them to establish and root which is before the winter comes. If you have rooted them for 1 month before the snow they will basically survive any winter or hard conditions like dryness. If your plants are from other varieties like "Spanish or French" Lavender then you can only let them outside If you are above zone 8.I have always heard they are not as hardy as English Lavender. I would suggest you pick up two plants,and let one outside and take care of one in a warmer windowsill inside your home and watch the difference. That's the easiest way to know about your climate and region. I hope helped you with something. God bless you 😉💜

Hi Ethan - good question. I do propagation two ways: 1) like you see in this video, with a humidity dome, and 2) on open benches with timed mist. The second is much "safer" in terms of rot because of the better air circulation. Under the dome, the only air flow is through three drilled holes in the top of the plastic. I open the domes every day or two to check for rot, so that helps a bit too. It's a bit of a trade-off, because the ones under the dome (and lights) do seem to root a little quicker, but are more susceptible to rot.

When can these go into the garden in its permanent spot?
@FraserValleyRoseFarm2 жыл бұрын
As soon as they've rooted to the sides and bottom of the pot. Plant in spring or early summer for best results.

When's the best time to take cuttings?
@FraserValleyRoseFarm4 жыл бұрын
I like to take them early in the season, when the shoots are growing rapidly, but before flowering. It's okay to take them anytime the plant is in active growth, though.

Awesome techings going on here. I will have to try lavendar. I am learning so much! Since your success with hydrangeas is 100 % I have taken hard and soft root cuttings from my favorite hydrangea with 0% success. Leaves wilt and die in a few weeks. I water, not mist. So I want try again, but it is July with first frost coming mid October. The hydrangea is in full bloom. When is the best successful time , as in season , and time of day to take cuttings?
@FraserValleyRoseFarm4 жыл бұрын
Any time there are fresh young shoots - in my area that's usually June, and then after blooming again. Time of day: morning (if possible, but not essential). Maybe try a humidity dome as shown in the lavender video, just to reduce the wilting and leaf loss.

I tried 12 seeds stratified and 12 left alone in a plastic egg carton... only 2 sprouted, and even then, only one of each sprouted! I keep it moist and under pretty much direct (artificial) light. Any ideas?
@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
The only thing I can say is that good quality/fresh seeds seem to make a difference. I bought mine from Jelitto - good germ rate with no stratification

What times of year can one successfully take lavender cuttings? Thanks! :)
@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
Hi Stephanie. Lavender goes semi-dormant over winter, but any time it's in active growth, you can take cuttings for propagation. They root a bit faster from fresh spring growth than in the fall, so that's the best time. Around here, I'd aim for May, but I've also gone as late as September (indoor under lights)

Did you fertilize your lavender from cuttings? Mine are much smaller. Half that size. I thought lavender didn’t like fertilizer so I didn’t fertilize.
@elsagrace38933 жыл бұрын
Ahhh, also I didn’t pinch them.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
Yes- I fertilize as soon as they've developed roots. Half-strength to begin, but after a couple week they'll take full strength. Again with the difference between garden culture and containers. Even a "light feeder" will require supplemental feeding in a container. In the garden, their roots would be able to search for nutrition in the soil.

How many times do you pinch?
@FraserValleyRoseFarm3 жыл бұрын
It might be once every month - every time I see new elongated growth, I pinch for branching.

My cuttings are getting some spots😢 what am i doing wrong.
@FraserValleyRoseFarm11 ай бұрын
I probably wouldn't let it bother me too much - there are all sorts of airborne diseases of low to moderate severity that can show up on cuttings, especially while the humidity is high. If they're growing well otherwise, I'd just trim off the worst of it and let them grow through.
