- You will receive 5 lemongrass stalks about 4 to 6 inches (variety of sizes). Lemongrass stalks are wrapped in moist paper towel so they should be getting ready to be planted in a few days. It is very easy to grow lemongrass from cuttings. You will be surprised on how fast they grow in water.
- To encourage your lemongrass stalks to grow new roots, place them bulb down in a jar with an inch (2.5 cm) of water in the bottom. Rooting lemongrass in water may take as long as three weeks. Over the course of that time, the tops of the stalks should start to grow new leaves, and the bottoms of the bulbs should start to sprout new roots. To prevent the growth of fungus, change the water in the jar every day or two. After two or three weeks, your lemongrass roots should be an inch or two (2.5 to 5 cm) long. Now you can transplant them to your garden or a container of rich, loamy soil.
- Lemongrass leaves and the oil are used to make medicine.
- In food and beverages, lemongrass is used as a flavoring and herbal teas.
