I got her in the Spring of 2024. She was in a plastic container with plenty of drainage at the bottom. I learned that I needed to water this plant fairly often because of how quickly the water would drain.
She's next to a north-facing window all of this time. I am on the east coast, so she gets roughly 8 hours of light a day.
In December of 2024, I went away for a couple weeks and my baby was almost dead when I came back. Half of the plant died, and I cut off the dead limbs a few months ago. I also upgraded my pot to an actual ceramic pot, and gave my lavender plant some new soil!
A month ago, my plant baby started looking like it was dying again 💔 I couldn't understand why. I tried watering it more often but that didn't help it. What should I do?

You’re over watering and the pot has no drainage. Recipe for disaster. Also it doesn’t live on that air duct does it? That’s not good for it either, if so. Lavender is a herb you need to prune it from time to time because it takes too much energy to get nutrients from the soil to the roots to the stem to the flowers/leaves and you need to cut off old dead flowers to save energy for the same reason as the last point. But mostly it needs a pot with drainage and a plate to sit on to catch excess water and only watered every 1-2 weeks. But it’s dead now, but this is advice for all basic plant care. If you cut it all the way down to just some twigs sticking out it may come back if you keep watering it and fertilize lightly just one time. But it may just be a lost cause too
