Setup, Compatibility & Care
Planting: Choose a location with plenty of sunlight (at least 6 hours daily). Ensure well-draining soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the pot and gently remove the plant. Place the plant in the hole, fill with soil, and gently pat down.
Watering: Water the plants regularly, especially during dry periods. Water at the base of the plant to avoid wetting the leaves, which can promote disease.
Sunlight: Provide ample sunlight for optimal growth. Both lavender and rosemary thrive in sunny locations.
Pruning: Trim the plants regularly to encourage bushier growth and maintain shape. Harvest herbs as needed, trimming stems just above a leaf node.
Soil: Use well-draining soil. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or other organic matter.
Repotting: As the plants grow, you may need to repot them into larger containers.
