How To Grow Lemongrass Indoors And Actually Keep It Alive

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is a popular ornamental grass that has a pleasant lemony scent, a great citrusy taste when added to various dishes, and even repels pests like mosquitoes. Although lemongrass doesn’t like the cold, it can be harvested all year long when grown indoors.  

The three main factors for keeping your lemongrass alive indoors are sufficient light, the right soil, and adequate moisture. Providing plenty of sunlight every day is extremely important for healthy lemongrass. The best way to ensure the right amount of sunlight is to place the lemongrass in a sunny window that is south-facing for at least 6 to 8 hours each day. If you don’t have a window that is sufficient, use LED grow lights to make up the difference.
