At the nursery, Jane took her time and picked out the best lavender plants possible. She chatted with the helpful folks at the nursery and bought the best variety for indoor growth. She wanted that smell and look of fresh lavender growing in her house. Also, Jane took the time to purchase pots of the proper size. She also made sure that the pots had proper drainage.

After getting home Jane wanted to be very careful and do things right. She unpacked the plants. Then she put one in each of the new pots. She used a good quality potting soil, not just the dirt out of her back yard. She made sure that the roots were spread out in the pots. Jane did not want the plants getting root bound too fast.

Now it was down to the daily care of all of the lavender.

After that, Jane was sure to take care of the plants on a daily basis. If the soil was dry, she watered. When it was too cold during the winter, she moved them to a warmer spot in the house. She chose a fertilizer and used it on the schedule recommended by the people at the nursery.

Finally, the lavender plants started to live and thrive. I looked like Jane learned what she needed to grow lavender in her own home. At last Jane could enjoy the smell and beautiful flowers that the lavender is famous for.
