Overwatering
Another reason why lavender might turn grey, especially around the base, is if the plant is overwatered.
Too much water in the plant suppresses the production of chlorophyll in the plant.
Overwatering can also make plants more vulnerable to fungal infections like root rot.
If a plant has root rot, the plant will develop grey patches which will eventually turn brown and then black. The whole plant could die within a matter of weeks.
Signs of overwatering include the plant turning grey around the base of the stem, constantly soggy soil, a heavy pot and yellow, mushy leaves.
Underwatering
Not watering a lavender for a long period of time can lead to a grey plant.
Underwatering can lead to underdeveloped roots and dropping branches as well. Leaves will also turn yellow and dry.
