How to plant Lavatera correctly
For example, if you planned to plant lavatera in open soil in May, then it should be planted for seedlings in early spring.
Take wooden boxes, place a layer of drainage on their bottom, and pour seedling soil mixture on top.
Water the soil well with heated water and sow the seeds, deepening them 1 centimeter.
How to care for Lavatera
Water 2 times a week at the rate of 2 - 3 watering cans per plant.
In hot weather, increase the frequency of watering. Loosening and mulching.
After each watering, lavender bushes need to be hilled high so that adventitious roots form faster and the plant grows well.
