Dying Laveneder

Why are my Lavender plants dying in doors? I recently bought on two seperate occasions, a Laveneder plant. My wife and I have always loved the scent of Lavender so when we bought our new house, we decided to have lavender in the garden and indoors. We have a lovely big pot outside BUT the two pots we bought recently have started to dry up and now look like dried sticks with leaves. I replanted them into bigger pots thinking before hand that their original pots where too small, but to no avail. And i dont over water them.
Can anyone help?

Indoors is much more drying than outdoors. Try more water next time. They also like light so do not put in dark corner.

Also, lavender is an outside plant. It needs a LOT of sun, very free draining soil, and good watering. It doesn't like to be waterlogged but it will tolerate a fair amount of water, so long as the soil/compost is very gritty. I don't know anyone who has had success with lavender, indoors, light levels just aren't good enough.
