6 Fresh Lemon Grass

These lemongrass shoots came well packaged, and shipped quickly. They are perfect for rooting, with a nicely intact node. For those new to growing lemongrass, peel off any outer leaves that have dried a bit in shipping, trim the tops off the leaves (they smell Amazing), then put them in a jar with enough water to cover the base. Put them on a windowsill where it's not too cold, and change the water once a week so they get O2 at the node. It might take over a month for the tiniest roots to appear, but they will. The roots grow long and healthy by spring planting...just be patient and keep changing the water! I have not tried it, but I'd imagine they should root well in a hydro or aquaponic system too.

All the plants ended up growing so fast and it came with great instructions to care for them as well. arrived freshness, great color and size, Very happy!

I should have just gone to the market. This was a complete waste of time and money.The lemongrass is not fresh at all. The bottoms are black where there's suppose to be roots. Fresh lemongrass should be green or light in color at the root base, not black. The stems have alot of black and brown skin and the product itself is mostly dried out. I was hoping to be able to reroot these but there's no hope of that so looks like it's just going in the trash because it isn't even edible.

I use when making Thai food. Stores well in freezer.

These have done well with rain water and placed on a window sill. They multiply quickly. 1 stem can quickly turn into 7.

I received the stalks of lemongrass. They are very dried out. They don't even have a lemon aroma. I have recut the base and am soaking them in water. They may be too dry to even absorb the water. If there is no improvement within 10 days, I will request a refund and return them.

value for money, freshness

I followed the guidelines from other reviews to get the stalks to root. I have a nice kitchen window with a full day of indirect sun and no drafts. I placed 5 of the 6 stalks i received there in shallow water after cleaning up any outer fronds that were dry or showing signs of rot. I changed the water daily, and I used water only. No plant food. The stalks rooted within two weeks, and after the roots were about half of my little finger’s length, I planted them gently. I moved the lemongrass to a partially sunny area at first, giving the stalks minimal sun to avoid burn. After about 10 days, I moved then to a sunny spot with about 6 hours of sun. Now they live in an area of all day, full sun in the Texas summer heat.I had used one stalk to flavor a marinade for beef. Flavorful product. I have not cut into my newly grown stalks yet; it’s just too pretty. I want to order and grow many more soon, so I will definitely be buying more.
