Lavender Care Guide:

To maintain healthy growth as seen in the image, follow these steps:

Light: Lavender needs full, direct sunlight for 6 to 8 hours daily.

Watering: Lavender doesn't like overwatering; water only when the soil is 2-3 cm dry. Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.
