Hey y’all!

I recently got this English Lavender plant from a local plant sale. It was happy when I got it but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I can tell it’s dying but it’s not fully there yet so I’m hoping there’s still some way to save it? I know they have dormancy periods but it seems way too early for that. Still, I’ve pulled it in just in case it’s still a bit too cold for it.

Additionally, I know they do better in the ground but I don’t have that as an option at the moment. Any advice for reviving it and helping it stay healthy in a pot?

Thanks!

It might be the soil it’s in , lavenders like a really well draining soil. English lavender is cold hardy , id say change the soil, leave it outside and just neglect it, noticed they thrive off that in my experience

I used all purpose potting soil when I first repotted. What would you recommend instead?

I’d add some addings to the soil like more perlite , bark even some horticultural slit/sand
