Plant Care & Growing Tips

While this product consists of harvested leaves, understanding the growth habits of lemongrass can enhance your appreciation for these organic lemongrass leaves. Lemongrass is a perennial grass native to tropical and subtropical regions. It thrives in warm climates and requires ample sunlight, ideally 6-8 hours of direct sun per day. For those interested in growing their own, it can be cultivated in USDA Zones 9-11 outdoors year-round, or as an annual in cooler climates, or even as a potted plant indoors. It prefers well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Lemongrass is relatively low-maintenance, but occasional fertilization with a balanced, organic fertilizer can promote vigorous growth. If you’re using fresh stalks from a plant to make fresh lemongrass tea, simply snip off the desired amount from the base of the plant. Harvesting leaves encourages new growth, ensuring a continuous supply of this fragrant herb.
