    Don’t worry it’s really hard to germinate. I tried and failed until I found a YT vid that really helped. Make sure you don’t have old seeds and then. Put the seeds on a wet paper towel and put it in a sealed zip lock bag in the fridge for a month and don’t disturb it. Then place the bag in direct sun for a week and you should start to see germination. I think mine actually took 2 weeks. Then GEEEEENTLY prick out the seeds from the paper towel and plant them in seed trays with seed starting soil. (Tho I just used my tropical soil and that worked ftr) then keep them moist and under a grow lamp until they’re ready to be up potted. I waited til I had 3 sets of true leaves (1” -2” tall) til I moved up to 2.5” pots. You can start to leave a fan or putting them outside to harden off if you’re gonna plant them outdoors. That’s as far as I’ve gotten tho bc I just up potted to 2.5” this week. lol. Good luck!!! You got this!!

    This is a very important before planting the seeds you should mix the seeds with a bit of moist sand or paper towel in a plastic bag and leave it in the fridge the reason is it helps to wake up and grow better put it in the fridge to 2 to 4 weeks before planting use white sandy soil mixed potting soil with sand It’s not too heavy lavender doesn’t like wet feet it needs good drainage plant the seeds just right sprinkle seeds on top of the soil and gently press don’t bury them deep they need white to germinate so just a white cover of soil or whatever this word is is enough Keep the soil moist but not soggy use a spray bottle to soil so you don’t wash the seeds away cover the tray with a plastic wrap or a queer lid to Holden moisture like a mini greenhouse give them white and warm use a sunny window or a grow white keep the temperature around 65 to 70°F 18 21°C be patient lavender can take up to 2 to 4 weeks to bro sometimes even longer just keep the soil warm and moist and don’t give up send the siblings once they choose the strongest little plants and gently move them to bigger pods when they have a few leaves move outside slowly after frost let them get used to being outside a little at a little time for about a week called heartening off after that they can grow out in the garden or in a sunny pot bonus tips lavender loves the sun at least six hours of suddenly a day once outside water deep but not too often what the soil dry out in between once it’s big don’t use too much fertilizer lavender prefers poor soiltell me if that helped you
