Want to grow more lavender for free in your garden this year? Learn how to propagate lavender plants with these simple tips.
Most lavender plants can be propagated from cuttings from the mother plant. Direct seeding is not recommended since the germination rate is low. But hey, if you want to try it, go for it.
Choose a stem that is not flowering and is approximately 4-6 inches long just below a node.
Remove the leaves from the lower half of the cutting.
Fill a small pot or container with well-draining high-quality potting soil.
Dip the end in rooting hormone and plant in well-moistened warm potting soil.
Place it in a warm and bright location, but out of direct sunlight. Keep it moist but not wet.
Once the cutting has developed a strong root system, usually within a couple of months, you can transplant it into a larger pot to grow more before planting directly into the garden.
