Lavender Cultivation Tips for Indian Farmers
Climate and Location
Lavender thrives in sunny, dry regions. Ideal temperatures range between 15-30°C. Choose well-drained soil with a pH of 6.5-7.5.
Soil Preparation
Ensure soil is well-drained and sandy. Add organic matter. Use raised beds in areas with heavy rainfall.
Watering and Fertilizing
Lavender prefers dry conditions. Water sparingly, avoid overhead watering, and use balanced fertilizer.
Pruning
Prune lavender in spring to promote growth. Remove dead stems and trim for shape.
Harvesting
Harvest when half the buds open. Cut stems after dew evaporates and hang upside down to dry.
