Temperature: it can't withstand extreme high temperature, but its cold resistance is very high. Watering: do not like humid environment, so watering needs to be controlled. Light: I like the warm sunshine, but the strong light needs to be shaded. Fertilization: the fertilizer needs to be diluted before fertilization, not too much each time.

I. maintenance method

1. Temperature: its high temperature resistance is relatively weak, because the high temperature will directly stop growing, so the temperature in summer cannot exceed 35 degrees, but the cold resistance is very high, and it can still grow normally when it is around - 20 degrees, and it can spend winter outdoors in winter.

2. Watering: it has strong drought resistance, so it doesn't need to be watered frequently. Every time when watering, it needs to be watered thoroughly. There should be no ponding in the flowerpot, and during the watering process, it needs to be watered directly to the root of the plant, not to the leaf core of the plant, otherwise it will rot.

3. Light: it prefers soft light. Under the warm light, the plant will grow more vigorously, and can't be illuminated by strong light. It needs proper shade.

4. Fertilization: normal growth requires fertilization, but fertilization cannot be applied too much. It is necessary to dilute the fertilizer with water and then apply fertilizer. More nitrogen can be applied, which is conducive to flowering.

2. Cultivation techniques

1. Propagation: cutting and tree splitting are two important ways. The former is usually carried out in spring and autumn every year. First, select about ten centimeters of branches, then insert them, keep the environment moist, and then wait for germination. Tree splitting also needs to be carried out in spring and autumn every year. Select three-year-old plants for tree splitting, and then replant them.

2. Pruning: it is necessary to prune during the growth period. It is necessary to cut off some side branches and excessive branches, so as to ensure normal flowering, and prune the trunk to control the height.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: root rot is the main disease. This disease is mainly caused by high temperature and excessive watering. You can spray some disinfectant solution

2. Insect damage: insect damage is rare, as long as the specific breeding methods are well mastered, there will be almost no insect damage.

4. Other issues

1. Toxicity: there is no poison. Now, lavender is planted all over the country. It has a very high effect on beautifying the environment.
