Step 3:
Remove some of the lower leaves so the stems look long. This rod will later be put into compost.
Step 4:
Before we put the stems into compost, first dip all the stems or stems that we will plant into the rooting hormone. Then put the stems in the compost mixed with sand in the pot, put in the side of the pot.
Step 5:
If it has been planted, water the entire plant and cover with the same pot. It aims to maintain humidity so that it stimulates plant growth.
6. Place the pot in the shade
Then after about 4 to 6 weeks have passed, usually the roots begin to grow. At this time, cut off the plastic ends to increase ventilation.
If it is well rooted, then open the plastic completely and take each lavender stick to be planted in another pot separately. From this one pot, we can get some of the plants we have planted earlier, now the stems are turned into new stems that are ready to become adult lavender.
That’s a simple way to reproduce lavender plants, you can do this technique for other plants as we have mentioned above.
