🌿 How to Prune Lavender Step by Step – When and How to Do It for a Healthy and Lush Plant? ✂️💜

Lavender is not only a beautiful and fragrant plant, but it also requires proper care to stay healthy and blooming for years. Correct pruning helps maintain its shape, encourages new growth, and prevents the plant from becoming too woody.

🌱 When Should You Prune Lavender?
Lavender should be pruned at least twice a year: once in spring when new shoots appear and again at the end of summer after flowering. Spring pruning helps refresh the plant, while summer trimming maintains its compact shape.

✂️ How to Prune It Properly?
When pruning, cut back about two-thirds of the plant but always leave some green growth! Avoid cutting into the completely woody parts, as they won’t regrow. Use sharp pruning shears and make angled cuts to prevent water from pooling on the cut surface.

💡 Tips for Healthy Lavender Growth:
✔️ Don’t wait too long to prune, as lavender can quickly become overgrown and woody.
✔️ If your plant is already too woody, rejuvenate it gradually over several pruning sessions.
✔️ After pruning, add some compost or organic fertilizer to support new growth.
✔️ To keep your lavender looking neat throughout winter, you can do a light autumn trim.

Regular pruning ensures not only the beauty of your lavender but also its health. Follow these steps for lush, fragrant lavender bushes in your garden! 🌸
