Okay, I’ve posted about my lavender plant here and was affirmed I was doing everything right so it’s possible I just need the plant validation haha…. But I did deadhead the lavender plant and left a few flowers that seemed newer. I cut where the leaves meet the stick and now the leaves that were green are paling or greying and I’m not sure if that’s normal. Did I kill this guy?

Yes, it's normal for lavender plants to have a pale or greyish green appearance, especially in certain conditions or during dormancy. While healthy lavender foliage is often a vibrant green, factors like frost damage, fungal diseases, or even dormancy can cause the leaves to appear pale or greyish. 🙏🏽😊

Haha is there a way to know if the coloring is because of dormancy or disease. Just not sure I should move it over to the plant graveyard yet.

Dormancy would be my first guess. Since it is normal or could be i would still propagate and treat with organic fungi spray and redo pots and etc even add perlite it’s a good bacteria 🦠 fighter. Once you do everything anew i would allow 2wks to pass to determine if it’s graveyard worthy. But seeing your plants is full grey and doesn’t seem sick I would just repott and add more of a bonus his go round and give it 2wks.
