# LAVENDER S.O.S. — OK… I’m just gonna ask. This is a lavender I’m…

LAVENDER S.O.S. — OK… I’m just gonna ask.  
This is a lavender I’m trying to bring back to life. I overwatered it.  
I repotted and added blood meal and some plant food to the soil and have been many days without watering for moisture to go away. The roots were blocking the old pot hole so it wasn’t draining properly. It looks very dry but I could see the healthy vein when I repotted. Do you think I have a chance? Is it true that you only water it once a month? Could a water meter help me? Thanks in advance. I’m praying over it 😐

I’m not 100% sure but I’ve never been able to save a lavender plant in this condition personally. 😭
