Growing of Lemon Grass.................
The cultivation of Lemon Grass
Site: Lemongrass Plant in full sun in rich, well drained soil. Lemon Grass also works well in containers. We recommend a three-liter pot.
Propagation: Lemon Grass is easily propagated by division of roots. When dividing clumps, each stalk should have about an inch of root attached. For better cut success, the leaves about two inches from the division. Lemon Grass has a very extensive root system. So, for potted plants, it is important to share annually.
Growing: Allow soil between watering in the dry growing season. Water sparingly in winter.
Fertilize every two weeks during the growing season. Most balanced fertilizers are sufficient, but 15-30-15 worked best in our experiments. Time-release pellets also work well. Fertilize in winter is not necessary.
This tender perennial can be grown all year outside of USDA zones 8-12 (southern United States). In cold climates, should Lemongrass be overwintered inside. It is easily dug up and repotted if necessary. If death be frozen Lemon Grass.
Pests and diseases are very rare.
Harvest: Blades must be 12 inches tall before cutting. If you are harvesting for food, cut about one inch above the crown. If you have any lower limit frequency, this section of the plant will not grow again.
Culinary uses: Lemon Grass has long been in use for teas, soups and oriental cuisine. Almost every part of Lemon Grass can be used, including the leaf tips, tender shoots and whole leaves. Snip has a few leaves in a pot of tea for a refreshing taste and aroma. For a delicate hint of lemon, add a number of Lemon Grass, to use the water for steaming meat and vegetables. Add the shoots of touch for a subtle but exotic roast flavor enhancer.
