Lavender, like most flowers, requires specific care to thrive. Social media user @gatheringgarden has shared guidelines for the fragrant plant to ensure more blooms and a longer flowering season.
In a TikTok video, the plant lover offered two key tips. The first is to avoid watering lavender once it is established. They said: 'Trust me that there’s enough water and enough moisture in the air that is just the right amount for what lavender needs. It literally likes to just be left alone.' This advice may depend on your watering zone.
The second tip concerns harvesting. They advised: 'Don’t forget to harvest it cause it will encourage another bloom. So you’re going to leave about two inches above the woody base, cut right there, don’t overthink it and it’ll come back for you one more time in the summer.'
Commenters expressed concern about the no-watering advice, with one warning: 'So you do need to water your lavender because mine died.'
