Lemongrass cultivation method

Lemongrass cultivation method

1. Maintenance methods

1. Temperature: It likes a warm environment and the temperature cannot be too low. If the ambient temperature is -1.8℃, the plant is directly at risk of frostbite. Therefore, it cannot be directly outdoors in winter. It needs to keep warm. A warm environment can ensure its survival.

2. Watering: For growth, you just need to keep the soil from being too dry. Don’t water too much, especially in the rainy season. You need to be careful not to allow water to accumulate. You need to drain the water in time. If there is water accumulation, the roots of the plants will be soaked in water for a long time and will easily rot, affecting their growth.

3. Light: It needs enough warm sunlight to grow, so that it can grow more robustly and the color will be greener. In spring and autumn, it can accept full sunlight. In summer, it needs to be properly shaded to prevent the plant from being sunburned.

4. Fertilization: Generally, fertilization needs to be applied strictly according to its growth trend. Do not apply too much fertilizer nor no fertilizer. If the plant is relatively short, too much fertilizer will directly burn it, so you need to observe its growth conditions and then decide the amount of fertilizer.

2. Breeding techniques

1. Reproduction: Sowing is the main method of reproduction. The best time is in spring. The temperature in spring is suitable, which is the critical period for seed germination. Therefore, you can choose spring. After sowing, you should pay attention to receiving normal warm light, which is conducive to seed germination.

2. Pruning: It hardly needs pruning because its growth rate is relatively slow. You just need to observe its growth more often. If there are diseased branches or branches with poor growth, you can just pick them off with your hands.

3. Problem diagnosis and treatment

1. Disease: Leaf blight occurs in hot and rainy seasons. Bordeaux solution can be used to control its damage, or the diseased branches and leaves can be cut off for timely prevention.

2. Pests: Mosquitoes may appear in the lemongrass bushes. Although they do not cause any harm to its growth, some pesticides can be used to control them.

IV. Other issues

1. Toxicity: It is non-toxic, edible and has high nutritional value.

2. Can it be grown at home? Yes, but its normal growth conditions need to be guaranteed. In summer, in order for it to receive normal light, you can open the windows.
