Yes in my greenhouse thing I made, with propagator lids on the tray too. Oh silly me.

 

Yeh greenhouse and propagator lids may have been overkill.

Mine haven't grown much apart from the pinks they have doubled in height

 

They look to be on the wet side too?

With the benefit of hindsight I would have put them in the shade after planting (even indoors, in a cool room, even if the light is poor) for a couple of days to recover from transport and potting on. Mist with a hand sprayer several times a day if possible, but don't cover them [e.g. with propagator lid]

 

Bum, I just winged it and didn't know any of that. Lesson, once again, learnt.

 

They might well recover - best to put them in the shade now though, if not already done. And don't let them get too wet - they will have shutdown "drinking" I expect, so won't process as much water as previously as a consequence. Lavender do OK in dry soil (although probably not as babies, but they will tolerate a-bit-dry better than a-bit-wet.

 

Thanks Kristen.

 

These are mine







Not sure why the pinks are so leggy

 

I love those boxes. Did you make them yourself?

at that price.

 

Lmao i know

I didnt pay that much tho at all.

Got them when they went really reduced in winter

 

Too wet. Can you take the insert out of the tray to allow it to drain better?

 

Most of mine are doing OK, the ones in the black plastic trays seem to not be doing too well. Don't know why as I am treating them all the same. A few of them are much bigger now though.

 

do i see some phacelia coming out there in the pots next to it :D

 

In all honesty I cant remember what I put in that pot, I should use lables more, the bigger pot has some mint, the little trees are Blue Jacaranda that, eventually will be bonsai if I can keep them alive. I think I do remember having some Phacelia seeds so possibly.
