Lemon Grass Care

 Cymbopogon citratus

Lemongrass thrives in full sun, particularly in warmer climates, requiring a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight daily to meet its energy requirements. Planting in shaded areas may result in sparse growth and susceptibility to pests.

For optimal growth, lemongrass prefers consistently moist soil. While the standard recommendation of providing “1 inch per week” suits its needs, lemongrass displays resilience and can tolerate less frequent watering. Once the plant establishes itself, it exhibits good drought tolerance. Applying a 3-inch layer of mulch not only helps retain soil moisture but also contributes to soil enrichment as it decomposes.

The Lemongrass plant is rated for Zones 9 to 11.

Not safe. Lemongrass plants are toxic to pets.
