Recommended Chaiyo Mix
At our Thailand nursery, we grow French Lavender in a well-draining mix using 70% Universal Substrate and 30% French Bark Nugget 8–15mm or LECA Balls.

This mix is used under outdoor full-sun growing conditions. The ratio may be adjusted depending on your growing environment, such as airflow, sunlight, heat, humidity and whether the plant is grown in a cooler or more sheltered area.

For hotter, sunnier and airier spaces, the mix may dry faster. For shaded, cooler or lower-airflow spaces, the media may stay wet for longer. Adjust the amount of Universal Substrate and amendments accordingly, and always water based on the dryness of the media.

For best results, use Chaiyo Farm media and adjust watering based on your plant’s environment.

Important Note
