Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Holiday Lavender Tree is straightforward, ensuring you can enjoy its beauty and fragrance for an extended period. Proper care will help your live lavender plant thrive and maintain its charming tree-like shape. Lavender generally prefers conditions similar to its native Mediterranean climate, meaning plenty of sun and well-draining soil.

For sunlight, place your Holiday Lavender Tree in a location where it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. South-facing windows are ideal indoors. If growing outdoors, choose a spot with full sun exposure. When it comes to watering, lavender prefers to dry out between waterings. Overwatering is a common cause of issues. Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger about an inch into the soil; if it feels dry, it’s time to water. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. A well-draining potting mix specifically formulated for herbs or succulents is recommended. The ideal temperature range for lavender is between 50-80°F (10-27°C). While it can tolerate some cold, protect it from harsh frosts if grown outdoors in colder zones. Fertilization is generally not heavily required; a light feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) is sufficient. Pruning is key for maintaining the tree shape and encouraging new growth and blooms; trim back spent flowers and shape as needed. Understanding lavender tree care is essential for a healthy, vibrant plant.
