How to fertilize Munstead Lavender
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Munstead Lavender after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What’s up with my plant? #EnglishLavender

So confused Ngl, im really confused about how my lavender is doing. The core of the plant is all brown and looks dead, but the new growths are a gorgeous green? I can’t tell which bit I should be focussing on! She got treated for root rot recently (maybe two weeks ago?) and within a few days of being treated she very quickly shot out some new healthy growths, but then she kinda got a bit stunted. I think the green parts are still growing, just definitely not as fast as before. Does anyone have any idea what’s happening here, and which signs I should be addressing? She usually sits on my windowsill and gets a decent amount of direct light from there, but I’ve popped her outside today to get some proper sun and hopefully she perks up a bit. #notsohappyplants #Lavender

#lavendar #englishlavendar Is my lavender dead? I bought them and unfortunately had Covid for 2 weeks and couldn't care for them. I want to repot them, but is it too late?

Lavender with woody roots? Hey, so I was repotting my lavender with new a soil and perlite mix, and as I was taking all the old soil away from her roots, I noticed that some of them (especially near the top) were very woody. Is this normal or a really REALLY bad sign? There’s also a root(?) that sticks up out of the soil then curls back down into the root ball. She isn’t in a pot that’s too small, but I’m kinda concerned because I only noticed it this week, but the root is legitimately black. I know the roots don’t look great, I’ve been really struggling with her lately and I’m hoping that some of the roots are just dirty rather than dead 😭😭 The roots were also circling around themselves so much that I was struggling to separate them. I don’t know why because, like I said, she’s in a perfectly spacious pot. What is going on, please help 😭 #lavender #unhappyplants #roots #repotting

Lavender concerns Hey, so I’m pretty concerned about my lavender. And confused. The central ‘spoke’ of my lavender seems to be doing well and is creating new growths, but the previous new growths seem to my dying? I’m not entirely sure what to do. I repotted her yesterday and her roots didn’t look to good so I sprayed them with peroxide just in case, but I’m not really sure what to do if she’s creating new growths while others are dying. Any idea what’s happening? #lavender #unhappyplants #concernedplantparent #newplantparent #NewGrowth

Sunburnt Lavender I had my lavender sitting in direct sunlight for a couple weeks, but now pruned her and moved her into outdoor indirect sunlight as her green has gone away. Is there a way to revive her?

Can't get this one to bloom at all and hasn't even grown a bit since having it. I'd love to see it get bigger #Lavender

Goodwin creek lavandula turning brown Hi everyone, My Goodwin Creek is turning brown and dry with twisted flowers and leaves. I suspected I was overwatering it so I repotted and removed a lot of small root branches. It is now like this. Any suggestions to verify if the situation is improving?

I think it’s time to finally retire my English Lavender, Arya. I only got her around February time but ever since then she’s been on the decline (this isn’t the first time this has happened either, I’ve turned into a bit of a lavender killer). She was beautiful while she was around, but I think now is the time to call it 😔 #DeadPlant #EnglishLavender #Lavender #rip #frustration

Hi, I’ve had this lavender plant for about three months and in the last month it’s started to look like it’s dying. How can I bring this back to full health? #GregGang
