When plants are young, within the first 1 to 3 years, lavender plants will probably need to be watered once per day unless it rains. Lavender plants like at least 6 hours of sun per day, and if it is overcast for a few days in a row, consider watering less. You can always test the soil, by sticking your finger down (3-4 inches away from the root/main stem) to see if the soil is dry.
Lighting Tips. Proper lighting duration is just as important as the light intensity. Tomatoes require at least eight hours of direct sunlight daily or 16 hours of artificial light per day. If you are growing seedlings indoors in spring when they don't receive eight hours of sunlight, you can supplement the natural sunlight with artificial light after sunset to equal 16 hours.
