potted lavender

16 years ago

Hi people,

I just bought a 10" potted lavender that at time of purchase it was beautiful with tons of upright purple flowers. I've placed it on my deck where it gets all morning and some afternoon sun but the flowers are now limp. I live in coastal Southern California, I have not watered the plant since I bought it (2 days ago) because I know these are native to the Mediterranean region so dry and sunny days are better. Can anyone help?

It will take a few days to adapt to the environmental changes. Give it a few more days to become healthy again. Defiantly give it some water and try misting the leaves.
