I was finally winning with plants… until lavender came to snatch my confidence.

I recently started bringing live plants back into my home and for the first time in my life, they were actually thriving. The gifted plant lasted over a year, the Trader Joe’s succulents are still going strong, even the flowering cactus from Publix is living its best life. Then I grabbed a $20 herb set from Costco and every single one is flourishing except this lavender (dill is struggling too). I repotted all of them, I prayed over the lavender, and still the struggle is real. I’m so disappointed, but I’m not giving up. Growth is still happening, even when one thing refuses to cooperate. I don't know what else to do!?!?!!?
