Lavandin Plant Care

Lavandin (Lavandula intermedia) belongs to the Lamiaceae family within the Lavandula genus. Lavandin is also known as Hybrid Lavender.

Lavandin displays a compact, bushy shrub growth habit, reaching up to 2 inches tall with a spread of approximately 3 inches. Lavandin produces fragrant spikes of purple, blue, or white flowers.

Leaf size: approximately 2 inches.

Lavandula intermedia requires watering every 7–14 days. Allow the top layer of soil to dry between waterings to prevent root rot. Reduce watering frequency during winter when growth slows.

Lavandin thrives in full sun light conditions. The optimal light range is 600–2000 lux. Avoid placing Lavandin in direct, harsh sunlight for extended periods, as this can scorch the foliage.

Lavandula intermedia grows best at temperatures between 60°F and 90°F. Lavandin prefers humidity levels of 30–70%.

Well-draining, sandy soil with a pH of 6.4 to 8.3. Good drainage is essential for Lavandin to prevent waterlogging, which leads to root rot and fungal issues.

Repot every 2-3 years in early spring. Choose a pot one size larger than the current container, and ensure it has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

Lavandin can be propagated through seeds, softwood cuttings. Similar propagation techniques also apply to lavender plant plant care, which shares the same genus.

Lavandin is susceptible to aphids, whiteflies, spider mites. Inspect the foliage regularly, especially along leaf undersides and stems. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil to prevent spread.

Lavandin grows outdoors in USDA Zone 13a. In cooler regions, grow Lavandin as a houseplant or bring it indoors before the first frost.
