I have a plant that only has one long stem in the center and no others. I am not going to get much out of it this way! Am I supposed to clip it or something to make it grow more stems?
What's a good method for making my lavender plant grow more stems?
Yes you should clip the tip out and has it branches out clip those tips (dont cut into old wood though)

Is it possible to grow sun flower and lavender in tropical area with high humidity?
I wanna grow some in my front yard, that would be lovely if it's possible.
Is it possible to grow sun flower and lavender in tropical area with high humidity?
It should be possible to grow both as long as they are planted in an amended soil that is water retentive. Both do like the sun. You could also add a layer mulch to keep the roots cooler. I would suggest that you consider planting a dwarf variety of sun-flower which grows 3 to 4 feet. The standard varieties grow to 6 or 7 ft. plus, and often need to be staked which may not look too pretty in a front yard; but that too depends on where you plan to plant them. Just something to keep in mind.
Reply:As long as you get enough sunlight, you can grow sunflowers. I had some in Hawaii. Lavender I'm not sure of.
Reply:no not well without either plant suffering or simply rotting
Reply:Absolutely!!!!! They should grow very well there! They both love sunlight... and I think humidity too...
Good luck!
Reply:yes it will grow very well there they love the high humidity and the heat also
Reply:yes you can but you know that sun flowers are pretty but once they get big and mature they turn black. are you sure you want that/
Reply:sure. as long as they get heaps of sunlight

What color bridesmaid dresses would look good with lavender and peach flowers?
I'm planning a fall wedding and found a beautiful boquet of light purple and peach flowers that I would love to have. I'm just not sure if the color will be ok for an October wedding. There are some whites and greens in it as well. Can anyone think of a fall color that would match purple and peach....maybe a darker purple or green was all I could come up with. Thanks for your help!!
What color bridesmaid dresses would look good with lavender and peach flowers?
I would go with a dark purple or maybe even a rust orange.
Reply:I'd say use dark purple for the dresses, as this color is a universally flattering one and there will be enough contrast between the color of the flowers and the dress for the flowers to really pop in photos.
Reply:I'd go with a medium purple or a dark peach itself. Actually, coral could work, too.
Reply:Navy would look good with both colours
Reply:brown or deep purple would look great. Both colors remind me of fall.
Reply:I think a really rich plum color would be nice. This color is really pretty and warm so it would go well in the fall:

This bronzy, caramel color might be nice as well:

Reply:I would go with a dark purple too, looks great for fall weddings!
Reply:tiel, purple and tiel are the easiest colors to coordinate, as well as peach, flowers and such much esier to find and coordinate. good luck and congrats
Reply:why not try an emerald green dresses or
a dark purple will go with those colore... or you can go black or gold since its gonna be in fall..
either way good luck...
Reply:maybe a soft yellow
Reply:I would think that a nice sage green color would look beautiful with the lavender and peach flowers.
The darker purple would look nice or a dark yellow.
Reply:I like the darker shade of purple idea best
Reply:the darker purple will suit perfectly.
otherwise perhaps emerald green MIGHT look alright. take the bouquet or a photo of it to a local material store and hold it up against a variety of colours. this will give you a good idea.
Reply:A chocolate color. I'm a huge fan of brown, so I suggest that. Using a neutral color increases the odds of the dress ever being used again (although its still incredibly unlikely). Browns also look great on almost any skin tone, and flatter the figure. Also, its a very appropriate color for the season.
Reply:I think a darker shade of purple would go really well with those flowers, not to mention it would be nice for the fall

How much lavender and tea tree oil should i mix together to apply on my face?
need advice... getting breakouts on my forehead and i dont have a fringe but i still get, heard that tea tree oil works, what else is there that isnt expensive?
How much lavender and tea tree oil should i mix together to apply on my face?
Since these are the only two essential oils that should be applied to the face . I would only put 1-2 drops. Depending on the quality of the oils.
tea tree: is very antiseptic, healing and soothes
lavender: . is very germacidal, balancing
combined together they would work great!! Again you just want to make sure they are 100% pure essential oils. Nothing OTC. They are good, but you want 100% oils, believe me look around and call places. I think I paid 15-20 each. sounds like a lot but they do last a long time, and I know its 100% PURE!!!
Reply:tree oil is $8 for a little bottle but it'll last for a long time. don't apply to much it's really stron and don't apply on oily faces. neutrogena and clen and clear has good acne medication washes too.

How do you make potpourri from growing lavender?
At what time do I pick the blooms from the plant to be dried to make the potpourri? Can anyone suggest a website on how to do this step by step?
How do you make potpourri from growing lavender?
Pick your lavender when most of the blooms are open. Tie the stalks in bundles and hang up somewhere to dry. If it is dusty tie a paper bag (not plastic ) round the flowers and hang them up. Lavender is rich in oil so it is not always necessary to dry it. It is one of the few herbs one can use in potpourri without drying.
When you prune your lavender bush at the end of your growing season dont forget to dry or use the leaves as well. They are just as aromatic, if not more so. Enjoy!
Reply:lovely idea!
Reply:just at time of late fall so that lavendar blooms dry out naturally or hang them upside down with yarn string attached to the ends...( tie the stems)

What are some good tips for growing lavender?
i just have plain soil with a little of that white fluffy stuff mixed in and they're being grown indoors. for some reason they get about two and a half inches high and then start to shrivel up from the roots. i have some now that seem pretty good so far but i really want them to grow.
What are some good tips for growing lavender?
I buy ALL my plants pregrown in a nursery, because I find that cheap comes out expensive. I buy the growing containers, the seeds, the potting soil, I tenderly care for them...Then the second I get them outside, they DIE...Or they don't even sprout to begin with. SO...I've given up on the theory that things grow from seeds. My new theory is that they mysteriously appear on the tables at my local nursery, and it's my job to buy them. I don't know why your lavender keeps dying, but I have some outside that I bought at about 3 inches tall a couple years back, and it's doing wonderfully, in a sunny patch in my rock garden. And I think I bought it for 3.99.
Reply:Plant them outside in full sun and well drained soil. They are not fussy and prefer to be on the dry side. If you do not have a garden to plant them in, try containers. Same thing, full sun, well drained soil.
Reply:Lavender flourishes in the outdoors and it is very easy to kill an indoor plant by overwatering causing root rot. If you continue to grow it in a pot, make sure that there is a drainage hole at the bottom. This will help prevent the root rot.

I have two bottles of essential oil, ylangylang and lavender, i ,opened the two last week?
how many months or years will they stay ok to use? i mean, i heard that when u open a bottle of an essential oil, u only have 6 months to use that eo, is that true?
I have two bottles of essential oil, ylangylang and lavender, i ,opened the two last week?
i think for as long as you need - i sometimes keep mine for a year and they always smell fine and work great. but normally you run out before this and i only have mine for about 3 months . i think just untill you run out. but if your worried and heard 6 mnths go with that
ylang ylang and lavender are great for relaxation great choice!
