Dear Steemians !!! Surely we are very familiar with the name of lavender flowers, but we rarely know the flower "forest Lavender". Lavender is a type of flower that comes from France and has existed since ancient Roman times, While the scientific name of this flower is Lavandula spica, has long stems with small purple flowers attached to the stalk. But this one flower people call it "lavender forest", of course, this flower is included into the lavender plant nation as well.
The usual lavender flower has a distinctive odor and is often used as a perfume because of its distinctive fragrance. That is why the Romans at that time called the name lavender as lavare meaning rev. While the lavender flowers of this forest there are also many substances contained in this flower. Such as nerol, lavandulol, geraniol, limonene, camphene, ocimene regulation, linalool acetate, and hydrocarbon monoterpene. Because the content is a lot, fresh or dried lavender flowers, can be used to make something.
So is there any benefit of this forest lavender flower? there are friends like, lavender is still fresh have good quality. These can be extracted so that the volatile oils contained therein can be delayed. Asiri oil used to be used as a traditional medicine for skin itching. Do not stop there more. This one flower is used for cleaning, but also this flower should be used with other drugs to be insect repellents, because mosquitoes are very anti with the smell of lavender flowers.
This plant is actually very easy to grow in Indonesia. Some species are suitable for tropical climates. Plants of this type of grass has 25-30 species. Now species of lavender plants have been widespread to various parts of the world, such as southern Europe, Arabia and east Africa. How to grow lavender flowers is rarely explained in the reference, plus the difficulty of finding seeds, lavender plants are still sought after by many people. Some plant fans started to grow their own Lavender, and the original Lavender. They generally get lavender, from plants directly overseas, or the seed itself or sometimes grow in the forests of Borneo or forests in other areas that are still within the territory of Indonesia.
Then the experts explain in the study, they say there are several ways to cultivate this plant, such as:
- Seedling of lavender seeds
In the planting of lavender flowers, seeding is the most crucial phase and determines the absence of lavender cultivation. Failure in the lavender planting process occurs in this seeding phase. To be successful, choose a good seeding medium for lavender. Seeds or lavender seeds are spread over the compost. The right type of compost is moist and loose and not sandy compost. Remember, the success of your flower planting is largely determined by the type of compost you use.- Treatment of Lavender Flower Seeds
After the lavender flower seeds are on top of the compost, you should water it every day 2 times a day, even if necessary use to keep the previous moisture compost media fixed at all times. Put the seedbed media in places that are not exposed to direct sunlight or too much.- Lavender Flower Planting
Seeds will sprout within 1-2 weeks. Then you have to prepare a larger pot by filling the growing media consisting of a mixture of loose soil and compost. If you want to build a land on hard ground, because the flower plants require energy (air circulation) which requires a lot of loose soil. Just as in the seeding phase, lavender flowers in new pots should often we sirami and see the soil conditions do not get the ground dry. Provide fertilizer Every 2 weeks, and do not use chemical fertilizers. Give organic fertilizer, even better if using liquid organic fertilizer. Or by adding fertilizer to grow better.- Treatment of Lavender Flower Plants
Lavender plants that have grown about 10 cm tall should often get sunlight. You can use a flowerpot in a place that will be exposed to the sun but also must be frequently watered and do not let the soil dry. If you want to move to a larger area, lavender can be moved after the size of 15 cm so the plants have a little stronger (the stems are woody). Remember, lavender is also a reliable plant and no complicated treatment. Lavender will start flowering after 1 year will be needed and will also be done and fill the corners of your home space- Treatment of Lavender Flower Plants

These "Lavender Forest" flowers are also found in Indonesian forests, most likely in other countries as well, perhaps in other countries giving names that are very different from the names in our area, which are essentially very beneficial to human life but some people still ignore it. thank you.
