This plant prefers good bright sun light and well drained soil. It is propagated from tillers which develop from the base of the mother plant. These tillers should be carefully separated from the plant and replanted.
Remark
Lemon grass is also used for flavoring Thai cuisine and to make pleasantly scented. First tsp of finely chopped leaf is boiled for 5 min. in a cup of water. This decoction with sufficient sugar makes a good refreshing drink. Cymbopogon Nardus or Citronella grass is a closely related species with a smell reminiscent of a typical insect repellant. The stems of this species are in reddish at the base. The crushed leaves can be rubbed on the body as a temporary mosquito repellant.
