Tips for Growing Your Own Lavender Plants

3. Make sure your lavender is ready before transplanting

Once your little lavenders put forth several sets of leaves, it’s about time to plant them in their final location. You should notice growth at the bottom of the stem near the soil and perhaps at the top as well. If you see roots protruding from the bottom of the seed plugs, it's time time to transplant your lavender.

Check to see if the roots are strong enough first. Before watering your seedlings, gently tug on one stem. If you feel resistance, your roots are ready. If it feels as if you’re pulling the stem out, stop and test again in another week.
