PSStore 25 West Indian Lemongrass Natural Mosquito Repellent Vegetable Seeds Lemongrass seed germination can be a bit tricky, but Juliet, one of our expert gardeners, has provided these tips to help you achieve the best results! 1. **Prepare the Soil:** Use a seed tray filled with high-quality, well-draining seed-starting mix. Lightly moisten the soil. 2. **Plant the Seeds:** Sow the lemongrass seeds on the soil surface, covering them lightly. Mist the seeds with water. 3. **Cover the Seeds:** Use a clear plastic dome or wrap to create a mini greenhouse, which helps maintain moisture and warmth. 4. **Ideal Conditions:** Keep the tray in a warm, bright spot with a temperature between 70-80F (21-27C) for optimal germination. 5. **Water Carefully:** Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can cause the seeds to rot. 6. **Be Patient:** Lemongrass seeds may take 1-3 weeks to germinate. Keep the soil warm and moist during this time. **Edible West Indian Lemongrass in the Garden** West Indian lemongrass is the tender, edible alternative to the more fibrous West Indian variety. Though similar in appearance, West Indian lemongrass is prized for its minty, citrus-flavored blades. In warmer climates, this lemongrass can be grown year-round as both a culinary herb and an ornamental grass, reaching 24-48 inches tall, similar to festuca grass.
