Lemon grass, also known as Citronella grass, Fever grass, Oil grass, Cochin grass, Malabar grass
Lemon grass thrives best in warm, sunny environments with well-drained soils, making it a relatively easy plant to care for. It requires consistent moisture but is prone to root rot if overwatered. Special care points include trimming lemon grass regularly to encourage new growth and preventing it from becoming too woody, and providing ample space as lemon grass can spread extensively in suitable conditions.
