How To Take Care Of Dried Lavender. Lavender does not like wet feet. A key point of care.
To dry your lavender hang your bunches upside down in a dark dry place with good circulation for a few weeks retying the bunches together as they shrink during the drying process Seal the dried lavender in an airtight container. Water mature plants every two to three weeks until buds form then once or twice weekly until harvest. The plant should not sit in a water tray so allow the water to drain out completely from the pots.
During the hotter months water it once each week and ensure that the substrate is dry before doing so so as not to overwater.
As with all flowers cut your stems diagonally under running water with sharp scissors to the length you desire. As a general rule we find that most home gardeners tend to prune their plants too lightly allowing the plants to grow too much each season. To properly take care of your lavender plant you should make sure it has a proper drainage system at all times. Place the stems in the buckets you prepared immediately.
