Hi all,

Could anyone tell what went wrong with my lavender by looking at the photos? These lavender is about 3 months old. I have been observing that many of the new grow leaves are turning grey.I have try cutting it whenever I see it and even spray copper fungicide on it, however the problem persist. Could anyone tell me what went wrong and solution to it?


By the way I am situated in Pekanbaru a city in Riau province of Indonesia. We have a tropical rainforest climate here with average highest temperature of 30C and an average lowest temperature of 23C. We have summer all year round and we only have wet and dry season throughout the year. Humidity level is high here with around the range of 60% to 98%. I am in low lying area, therefore it is extremely hot here.

Planting lavender may be a challenge here, but don't know for some reason i just want to keep on trying.

Hope from this forum could help me overcome every problem I face when growing Lavender.

Thankyou!
