Care & Harvest

🌱 Germination: Lemongrass can be slow to germinate and take off in growth, but be patient – it’s worth the wait!

💡Temperature: As a tropical plant, lemongrass prefers warmer temperatures (70°F+).

✂️ Pruning: Check the roots monthly and trim any that are brown or extending past the yPod. As lemongrass matures, you may see outer leaves start to brown as the plant puts more energy into new growth – simply trim the brown leaves away.

🔎 Plant Health: Spider mites are a common pest, but you can use our prevention tricks to keep them at bay!

🌾 Harvest: When harvesting Lemongrass for culinary use, target the bottom of the stalk for the most edible, tender, and fragrant part of the plant. Find stalks that are at least 1/4” thick and cut or snap off the stalk close to the yCube. Remove any foliage and woody parts to reveal the inner, tender section. Leaves can be harvested and dried anytime by snipping from the outside of the plant and hanging them to dry.

Quick Facts

ORIGIN

Lemongrass is native to Africa, Asia, and Oceania where it has been used as a traditional herbal medicine. A member of the grass family, many people treat Lemongrass like an herb when it comes to culinary uses.

QUALITIES

Lemongrass consists of stalks and leaves that grow in clusters. The leaves have a narrow, coarse blade with a lanceolate shape while the stalks have a tough, green, woody outer layer. You can remove the tightly wrapped outer layers to reveal the central portion of the stalk which has a white to pale yellow color. Young Lemongrass will release a sweet, somewhat tropical citrus aroma, and the stalk will have a tender and crisp consistency.

USE

Lemongrass is a traditional flavoring in teas and soups as it imparts a lemony flavor without adding tartness. It can be brewed fresh or dried as a medicinal tea sought for its anti-anxiety, anti-fungal, stimulant, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Lemongrass pairs particularly well with ginger, chicken, and seafood.
