Love These Lemon Grass Plants!
Love my lemon grass plants! They’ve been so easy to care for and have not been fussy at all! When they arrived, they didn’t look like much at all. They were about 18-24 inches long, laid out, but were somewhat droopy and very thin. We got them buried in our bed that had been completely tilled through, about a foot or more deep, and had mixed in some Top soil and organic soil. Since planting, I started watering them Every other day or every two days and giving them a deep watering as they tend to like misting and tropical down pours in their native habitat. I also dead headed all of the blades that dead/brown all the way to the bulb, by hand, by just pinching the blade off as I’d seen lemon grass farmers from Thailand do, leaving a clean, green plant, all the way through. From there, they have taken off! Even the two smallest ones have still tripled in size if not more and the larger ones have grown exponentially. Honestly, I haven’t watered the two larger ones in at least a month, and let the rain water them, to try and help the smaller ones catch up, and all ants still look great and are thriving! They get about 8-10hours of sun and then have the afternoons and evenings in the shade, and this has not been an issue. I would highly recommend these plants to anyone as all I’ve had to do is dead head the one time, and other than that, just provide water. These were planted in July, I believe, as well; so you can see how much Uriel’s they’ve put on in just a couple months or so.

Purchased 6 lemon grass plants. They are beautiful. Cut them in the spring. Coming back up. Love them.
Little concerned but hopeful
My plant arrived somewhat brown and seems to be getting worse. I checked back on FG site today to see if I am caring for it correctly. I noticed my growing zone recommends "patio". I planted it in my flowerbed at my porch. Let's see what happens over the next month.
It arrived brown. I’m attempting
It arrived brown. I’m attempting to nurture to see if it has new growth or if I need to trash it.
