Description

Cymbopogon flexuosus, commonly known as East Indian Lemongrass, is a fast-growing perennial grass in the Poaceae family. Native to India, Sri Lanka, and Southeast Asia, it forms dense clumps of tall, slender leaves that can reach 1 to 2 meters in height. The leaves release a strong lemony fragrance when crushed, making it both ornamental and highly valued for its aromatic qualities.

This versatile grass thrives in warm, sunny climates with well-drained soils and is widely cultivated across the tropics and subtropics. It is commonly grown for its essential oils, but it also adds beauty and fragrance to gardens, where it can be used as a striking border or container plant.

Growing Tips
Ensure seeds are pressed firmly onto the soil surface and barely covered as they require light for germination. Maintain constant high humidity using a humidity dome or clear plastic cover. Keep soil temperature between 20-30°C (68-86°F), ideally with bottom heat. Do not overwater; substrate should be moist but not soggy. Once germinated, provide 12-16 hours of bright light daily. Gradually remove humidity cover after sprouting to acclimate seedlings. Transplant to individual pots when seedlings are large enough to handle. Acclimate to outdoor conditions before transplanting outdoors after all frost danger has passed.
