Lavender, that quintessential Mediterranean plant, is not only fragrant and appealing to the olfactory sense but is very useful too. Did you know that this attractive ornamental plant does well in containers? It thrives as long as the soil mix & other conditions are to its liking. Here are things you need to know about planting lavender in pots so yours can grow successfully.
This is focused on planting lavender in pots to grow outside. If you want to bring yours indoors for the winter, I touch briefly on that towards the end of the post. MORE DETAILS IN THE POST: www.joyusgarden.com/planting-...

I discovered your channel a few weeks ago when I got into gardening at the beginning of quarantine and you give such great information! You’re an amazing teacher, Nell!! I’ve seen videos of yours from years back and I can always count on you for sound advice for my new plants. Thank you for all your help!!

@marcmattulat6585 4 года назад

Hi Nell, hope you are safe and healthy! Let me contribute to your video my central European experience of growing lavender: I also use a chunky, well-drained potting mix (a succulent and cactus mix works fine here in Germany), probably 50% potting soil, 25% horticultural sand and 25% grit. But as you suggested I would not add compost in my climate. Like you, I also pot lavender up in large containers, probably rather tall than wide (pretty much the type of pots that I use for roses) so as to give the root system some space to reach down into the soil. I never fertilize my lavender. And I water my plants with hard tap water. Here in Germany you wouldn't have much of a chance of growing lavender indoors. Even outdoors you want to give the plant a southern or southwestern exposure, or else you won't get lavender to bloom. And here in Germany you want to pot lavender up in March or at the beginning of April at the latest, because our summers are so much shorter than Arizona summers. Nell, stay safe and have a Corona-free summer. Best wishes from Berlin to the Arizona desert. Marc

@JoyUsGarden 4 года назад

Thank you Marc! I'm always interested in how plants do in different regions & included alternate mixes in the post. Also in the post are 2 pictures of lavender in tall pots which you can see here: www.joyusgarden.com/planting-lavender-in-pots/ I never fertilized lavender either. In CA I planted lavender in early spring also. We're having a very hot, dry summer (there's a big wildfire burning in Tucson now) so we'll see how this lavender does. Gardening is all about experimenting which is why I planted a dwarf variety. I hope you are staying safe also! Cheers from the desert, Nell

@@stacibivens5628 Hi Staci , Welcome to good ole Germany. Hope you like it here and you're meeting lots of nice people. Your question is somewhat vague, but I'll try an answer anyway. It may be somewhat vague, too. My favorite all-purpose potting mix is Floragard Vielseitig. It's peatfree (torffrei) and available at Bauhaus (DIY store). If you want to be growing succulents and cacti, you want to add horticultural sand (Rasensand), also available at Bauhaus, and a gritty mix, available at Pflanzen-Kòlle. If you are into mineral mixes, you may try growing your plants in Seramis clay pebbles. Seramis is available all over the place, since it is used by billions of Germans and Europeans. Seramis also offers great mixes for orchids and other epiphytes and for succulents and cacti. I love Seramis, because my plants love it. A great fertilizer is Compo Complete, available at Amazon and most garden centers. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. I hope this is helpful. Staci, stay safe! Happy gardening! Marc

Thanks for the advice on the use of compost. I live in a tropical humid climate in Asia and I thought compost was always a good thing for plants especially when I was determined to have it flower. Its stem eventually turned woody after a few months and I had to give it up. We get a lot of monsoon rain here so growing lavender in a container seems the only way to keep it away from root rot. I used a lot of perlite and a some coco peat in my next lavender. So far it's growing nicely but keeping my fingers crossed.

@JoyUsGarden 4 года назад

Hi Pat - You're so welcome! Lavender has a root system more on the shallow side so a smaller pot for a dwarf lavender is fine. Just make sure it drains well. And, be sure to read the blog post for more details! Cheers to you, Nell

It’s a tropical climate here with sun all year round and now we’re in the October-December monsoon season now with more rains... both my balconies are facing the hottest afternoon sunshine and has a side wall that provides some shade too... would appreciate your advice very much! Thank you in advance and stay safe 🙂🌺🌿

@susanfusuma6472 2 года назад

Aloha from Honolulu! I'm a fairly new plant addict, and I bought my lavender plant from Home Depot about 4 months ago in a 15 inch pot. It was doing very well in the beginning but now the leaves and flowers look very droopy and the a little dried out although I water the plant about every other day, and it gets about 4 hours of outdoor sun everyday. Should I perhaps transplant it to a new soil like the one you talked about in this video, as it's still in the original nursey pot and soil, and should I go up a pot size, too? Also, you used the term "deadhead", what does that mean? Mahalo for all your very informative videos!

@GingerAndZest 2 месяца назад

So many videos, sites suggest a measurement of 12-16 inches for a pot, but what is the unit--width, depth??? Please include units for clarity and at least two dimensions are appropriate please.

The lavendula patio tree I buy keeps drying and brown starting from the bottom until the entire tree is brown. At first I thought it was transplant shock so the second tree I didn’t touch it, minimal watering and placed it at the west facing balcony. With 100+ degrees here in Northern California it’s starting to brown at the bottom and drooping so....unclear why it seems fine at the store for weeks and immediately starts dying once on my balcony

@hollyhasegawa6095 4 года назад

Thanks so much Nell, I bought some lavender in pots a couple of years ago and they were so cute but i didn't really know the care of them and thought I could leaves them outside during the winter and they would come back, but I was wrong, if I would have had my green house I could have wintered them in there, they died and I just haven't bothered getting anymore, but this year I'm feeling a little braver and might try again thanks to you giving me some inspiration, you live in a much warmer climate than I do, I live in Idaho and we have some pretty harsh winters, so it will be interesting to see how they do. I look forward to your next video, thanks so much for always having such great videos on plant care. Have a great weekend, sending love and hugs, bye for now.

@Iris-gy2mi 4 года назад

I used to plant mine in my garden (in the ground) when I lived in Virginia and they looked dead during the winter, but came back every year. They grew huge compared to the size they were when I bought them. It would snow in Virginia and they did just fine.

Holly - You're so welcome! Idaho is beautiful & the winters are long & cold, that's for sure. I'd recommend 1 of the dwarf varieties like mine because they're easier to bring indoors for the winter.

Home depot doesn't seem to carry these pumice pebbles. Where else can I find them

@libbyworkman1666 2 года назад

@synthesizemeil. Try googling aqua culture sites, Companies that specialize in growing using only nutrient-rich water as a medium. They have things like clay pebbles for sale. Pumice comes from volcanic dust. Azomite, maybe. But that volcanic dust has nutrients in it, so I’m not too sure. If you use mixes that have the other things mentioned in different comments, you may not need pumice at all.

@amandaluhr5613 2 года назад

I bought two lavenders plants at the Lowe’s garden center. It was the Spanish Anouk lavender. I live in Mount Pleasant, SC which is a hot climate however it started getting cold so I left these lavender plants inside. The day a bottom the lady in the garden center was watering them so I waited two weeks to water them again. About five days later After watering them they started drooping. I never took them outside because the weather was getting cold. I bought the plants at the end of October and I kept them in a sunny spot in the house. I thought maybe that I had overwater them, and I tried to be very careful because I know they do not like a lot of water, so I took them out of their pots and set them in a metal container to see if I could revive them. They’re already turning gray is in the center and one is gray on one side. My question is am I going to be able to revive these lavenders? Are they just going into a dormant stage? They already have woody stems so I’m not sure if I can prune them back. They were some that Lowes had that look like little Christmas trees.

@kater8730 Год назад

I live outside of Toronto and have lavender in pots and in ground and I can tell you from experience that lavender loves the cold and mine return winter after winter without any special care or covering. I put the potted ones in our unheated garage along with my potted hostas and they two start greening up in April as my garage has tiny windows at top where some light comes in. I don't think the cold would affect your lavender. I also water daily full sun locations. Were you able to revive them?
