My lavender is browning on the bottom

She was wilting before so I watered her now she’s browning what do I do?
4” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago

if the leaves are drying then potentially it’s not getting enough water and it’s worth checking the see if it’s root bound since it’s in a smaller pot. the pictures almost make it seem like it’s the stems that are turning brown and if they’re bending/wilting that’d be the opposite problem (too much water). either way you probably want to start by getting a look at the roots and soil

if it’s simply root bound and dehydrated then you may still have a chance if you repot asap. if the roots are rotting from too much water then you it may be too late but you can try to trim away any dead roots and worst you case try to rescue some stems for propagation
English Lavender gets root rot and browns. It also browns when it may be underwatered or lacks nutrients. Trim off the little brown areas and make sure it’s getting enough light.
