Frequently asked questions
Lemon Grass
Can I keep it permanently in a tiny herb pot?
The clump thickens substantially. Repot or divide established crowded plants when actively growing.
Is a lemongrass pot reliable mosquito control?
No. A living pot is a garden plant, not a replacement for removing standing water and normal mosquito precautions.
Can I keep it narrow by tying all the leaves?
Allow the natural arching habit; tying a tight bundle traps moisture and spoils the display.
Should I cut green blades to one flat height?
Avoid indiscriminate clipping. Remove dead material and use pruning suitable for the actual species.
