can i plant a lavender in a room with air-conditioner?because as i know lavender plant grow in more cold place

Answer 1

You are correct in placing lavender in drier conditions. Lavender does like low humidity. However lavender is a family of some 25- 30 plants native to the Mediterranean, growing in dry, rocky habitats. So they like heat and survive in dry, cold conditions. These plants will not survive damp winter rains without excellent drainage nor summer humidity without good air circulation and lots of sun. It can be done, after all England is famous for their lavender. It just needs warmth and shelter from harsh, wet winters. It is dampness, more than cold, that kills lavender plants. In summer humidity ensuring they have lots of room for air to circulate, or as you suggest A/C, will help them avoid getting a fungal disease and rot in damp air. Just be sure to give them lots of light and warmth.
They need root space so a really small pot will soon be out grown. Get one 12" deep. Water sparingly and place aquarium gravel on top as mulch.
It takes about three years for Lavender to reach full size. Plants should be pruned every year immediately after bloom to keep a compact shape and encourage repeat flowering. The wood ceases to produce buds so when pruning cut back til you can still see just two pair of little grey buds on the stem for the plant to sprout back from.
Harvest flowers after only the first couple of buds on the flower head have opened. They are grey until the buds open. Once you see color they can be cut. If you wait til all the buds have opened you lose a lot of their scent and the buds will fall of the calyx more readily. The plant will bloom for about 4-5 weeks.
Cooking with lavender is common in Europe and the Mediterranean. In France it is used in Herb Provence. It is a member of the mint family and is close to rosemary, sage, and thyme. It is best used with fennel, oregano, rosemary, thyme, sage, and savory.

Answer 2

Plenty of light!! Well drained soil. The AC shouldn't be a problem as long as the plant isn't in the cold air and you don't cool the room to 72 or below. Lavender need warmth at least in the summer during flowering. They tolerate cold well, but still need the heat. Still, what have you got to loose......that's how we learn, trial and error. Go for it.

Answer 3

Give it a try, not much to loose if it dies's It gets HOT here and I have lavender on the south east end of the house that does fine, but it requires that I pay close attention to its watering needs.
Good Luck

Answer 4

It may grow but I wouldn't expect it to thrive. So I searched about.com and got something of a surprise - check out the link.

It's a wonderfully aromatic plant, and I miss having it in the garden.

Answer 5

there is a problem with that, if you place her in front of the a/c. no tropical plant wants dry air blown on it. it will dry them out, keyword tropical. in the tropics the air is moist, humid. plants leaves are similar to your skin tiny tiny droplets form on the surface of all tropical plants and forced dried air is not going to help her. get a humidify er, and place it near to it she might be ok
