2. Rooting Lemongrass in Water

  • Change the water every 2 days to keep it fresh.
  • In 7–14 days, roots will start to appear.

3. Planting in Soil

  • Once the roots are 2 inches long, transfer the lemongrass into a pot or garden bed with well-draining soil.
  • Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy.

4. Caring for Your Lemongrass

  • Place in full sunlight for at least 6 hours a day.
