Care Instructions
Lavender Sage thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. It should be watered when the soil is almost dry, as it does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Maintaining moderate humidity levels is beneficial for its growth.Soil
This plant prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot, so a soil mix that allows excess water to escape is ideal.Fertilizer
Fertilize Lavender Sage with a balanced fertilizer, such as a 5-10-10 N-P-K formula, during the growing season. Apply the fertilizer sparingly to avoid over-fertilization, which can harm the plant.Repotting
Repot Lavender Sage when it outgrows its current container, typically every couple of years. Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the current one and ensure it has good drainage. Repotting is best done in the spring.Propagation
Propagate Lavender Sage through cuttings or division. Take cuttings in the spring or early summer and root them in a well-draining soil mix. Division can be done when repotting, ensuring each division has a healthy root system.Pruning
Prune Lavender Sage to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Pruning is best done in the spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems to promote healthy growth.Toxicity
Lavender Sage is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, as with any plant, it is advisable to prevent pets from ingesting large quantities.Additional
Lavender Sage is a great addition to gardens for its aromatic leaves and ability to attract bees and butterflies. It can also be used in culinary applications, adding a unique flavor to dishes.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
