I bought my Lavender two weeks ago from Richters and it's been okay since I brought it home. The taller stem has a bract with some flowers open and it likes to bend over a bit. I'm not sure why this happens but as it would straighten up again for once again no apparent reason it didn't really bother me. However I have recently made attempts to move from under the fluorescent light where it is currently located to a sunny window and both times I tried this (two different windows with different exposures) it wilted completely within 30 minutes so I moved it back to the fluorescent where it eventually perked up again a few hours later. I would really rather move it to a window. It would get more light but it doesn't seem to want to move. I've read all of the Q&As about lavender but I haven't seen another one that has a problem with moving lavender to a sunny southern exposure window.The amount of light that your lavender gets under the fluorescent lights is way less than what it would get in a southern window in spring. And in the window, the heat from the stronger light will dry out plants more quickly.
