Cymbopogon (Lemon Grass)

Lemon Grass are mostly long lived perennial herbs and belong to a small genus, most of which are native in southern and south-eastern Asia to Australia. Most species have a very pleasant, lemon-like aroma and are widely used in the Asian cookery as a well as the perfume industry. All Cymbopogon species are easily cultivated in any rich, well drained substrate in a sunny spot throughout the year. Water regularly and fertilize the strong growing plants every week during the growing season. Keep at a minimum of some 20°C in winter with slightly reduced watering.
Sow seeds flat on any rich, well drained substrate in a sunny spot at a minimum of some 25°C (optimum: 30°C) throughout the year. Seedlings in these tropical species will need sufficient heat in order to grow well, especially during winter months. Keep soil always slightly moist from beneath.
