Lavender can grow in abundance under the right conditions, and cutting off cuttings can be the perfect way to spread lavender in your garden. This article provides tips for planting lavender cuttings.

Steps

1. 1 Choose good weather. Don't try to plant a cutting when it's too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures will dry out and kill the cuttings. The best time to plant a cutting is in early fall and early spring.
2. 2 Trim the lavender.
3. 3 Fill the pot with seedling mix or sand. Both provide an ideal cutting environment and do not contain too much moisture. The soil or potting mix can hold too much moisture, causing the cutting to rot.
4. 4 If desired, place some plant hormone powder on the ends of the cuttings. Hormone powder can provide the extra energy needed to overcome any adversity, such as very hot or cold periods, insects, imperfect soil, etc.
5. 5 Plant in a pot. Lower it gently into the desired place, but do not make the soil too hard.
6. 6 Place the pot in a half shaded area. More shade is preferred.
7. 7 Water regularly. Water every day if it's very hot, but don't moisten the soil too much; strive for damp, not wet soil, otherwise the stalk will rot.

Tips

• This method will also work for other woody grasses and plants such as wormwood, rosemary, mint, rose, hydrangea, chamomile, etc.
