I grew lemongrass last year. I had two lots, 1 I placed in a pot In the greenhouse and 1 in full sun at the allotment. The allotment grass grew far better. Also I use the leaves along with thyme and ginger as a tea with a little honey tastes wonderful. Harvist the leaves a good half handful and tie them in a knot scrunch and place in a pan along with a small bunch of thyme and a few slices of ginger. Bringing to the boil sieve into a cup and add honey to suit your taste.

@RAGEMETHOD 4 года назад

Bro, I was in a lot of pain (slightly above the abdominal area, right where the ribs start to meet). I couldn't eat anything, lost about 14 kilos. I went to a naturist Dr. Turns out I had a few different problems originating from inflamation in my intestines, causing my immune system to decrease and a bacteria got in. He said that there wasn't any medication for my problem as far as modern medicine goes, but the one thing that could help me with that bacteria was lemongrass since it kills bacteria. I went a bought me pot of lemongrass (currently figuring out how to grow it myself) Couple weeks later, the pain had stopped, my urine is back to it's usual color (it was almost brown). I haven't been drinking anything that isn't lemongrass tea since I went to the dr. Now that the bacteria is gone, he's moving me onto a wheatgrass treatment to rebuild my enzymes by introducing healthy cells into my body and finally get rid of the inflamation for good. I have the seeds germinating in a jar right this moment. I'll finally be able to eat normal food that isn't just chicken and vegetable soup, salads and tuna. Everyone should have these plants at home. They have many uses, they're easy to take care of. They are truely a resource, even if it's just for preventative measure to extend your health.

I've attempted to grow Lemon Grass many many times. I get the roots from it being in the water on my window ledge but once planted, the stem goes brown & seems to die off. Can you tell me where I'm going wrong? I am always successful at getting it to root though.

@simplifygardening 5 лет назад

You maybe over watering and in the soil it rots, try adding a load of grit to the soil next time and see how that goes
