- Grow lemongrass in containers and keep the containers indoors throughout winter in frigid climates.
Lemon Grass care
- The best way to start lemongrass is through root cuttings from mature stalks.
- There should be sturdy (Hard) green stems.
- Set them in a bright window with the bottom inch submerged in a glass of water.
- Within two weeks, the roots should start to emerge.
- When the roots are 1, 2 inches long, often after 4 weeks, plant in soil.
Sunlight - To grow, lemongrass needs warm temperatures and direct sunlight. Lemongrass won't thrive in your yard if it doesn't get six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day.
Watering - Drink plenty of water. Because it is used to continual wetness, lemongrass plants are very difficult to overwater, yet they cannot tolerate dried-out roots.
It's not necessary to keep the dirt muddy, but it should be kept moist. Mist continuously with a spray bottle on dry areas.
Soil - Lemongrass should be planted in loose, rich, well-draining potting soil or loam (2 parts soil to 1 part compost).
Clay soils must not retain too much moisture in order for lemongrass to develop, as this might lead to rot and nutrient deficiencies.
