Lavender is the pickiest little plant ever. I’ve started atleast three of them and they all start to die of rot. Everything I’ve ever read says they need dry airy soil. Something that doesn’t hold to much moisture. Maybe try a cactus soil in a new well drain pot.

Thank you I got some new soil and planted it in a new pot on the has holes so it drains.

i think they just do this because there’s no light so the leaves fall off.. most lavender bushes are dead underneath maybe they’re not supposed to be but mine looks like that too and i think it’s doing fine: it even flowered!
