Common Lavender Plant Diseases and How to Treat Them

Lavender is prized for healing properties and aroma, and is generally easy to manage. Cornell University notes only a few disease issues. Plants reach 1–3 feet, blooming pink/violet in summer.

Root Rot

Shallow roots prone to rot from overwatering. Well-drained soil critical. Use porous clay pots for containers. Mix pumice into beds/containers for drainage.

Leaf Wilt

Caused by insufficient sun. Lavender needs full sun. Indoor grow lights prevent wilt in containers. Ideal for sunny beds in home landscaping.

Brown Leaf (Four-Lined Plant Bug Damage)

Bugs extract chlorophyll, causing brown leaves. Large nymph populations can kill plants. Treat with insecticides or liquid dish soap wash. Prevent nymphs to protect plants.
