From seed to seedlings

Lavender plants were obtained by two methods:

 1. Basic method

2.Strification method

⤅

The most productive seeds from the basic method were from the Lavandula angustifolia variety 'Munsted Dwarf'

⤟

1. Basic method - Lavender seeds were planted in soil in two ways - randomized and in lines.

2. Stratification method - Seeds were stratified in a refrigerator for 34 days and then put in a heat box for 7 days.

In the first year I started to make lavender seedlings from seeds and grown by natural methods.


Seed germination consisted of 20%, in worse cases, 8%. Reasons why this germ is bad - I think they could have different criteria, such as wrong seed depth or bad quality seed.

In the next year, however, I did not bother and decided to follow another method - Stratification method

 

Seeds for 34 days were placed on a wet mat in the refrigerator, then they were placed in a heat box for 7 days. I separated them from a wet mat and compiled the soil in a cartridge, about 4 in one cartridge. And a month or two were in a heated greenhouse. When the plants were grown up to 4-6 leaves I put them in the unheated greenhouse. Seed germination by these methods was 65%, but for some varieties, even 95%.
