How do i grow lemongrass?
Question:After doing the usual cupboard clean out I noticed that 2 pieces of leftover lemongrass have a couple of shoots growing from the base. Can I plant them and whats the best way to look after them if so??
Answers:
Get some lemon grass roots, the leaves are not necessary but the roots must still be fleshy. Soak the roots in water for a night, then transffered to the soil in the garden. Remember to water them. They are not hard to grow. Sometime if you leave them in a bowl of water for a bit of time new green leaves will start to spourt. My husband usually transferred them to the soil when this happen to ensure that the roots are actually alive or something like that.
Or you can obatin the roots by buying fresh lemon grass from a grocer and soaking this in a bowl of water. You will notice after a few days roots will start to grow and when you think there is a good number of roots transferred the whole plant to soil. If there is no roots this mean the lemon grass will not grow.
I am not sure...they appear to grow in some gardens as weeds but have a nice lemon odour the same as mint grass.

This site tells you about lemongrass, how to grow it and some recipes for it!
Yes, you can. Just take the young shoots with the roots and plant them (even in pots). Water them every day. Fertilize them lightly after a week. Do the same for new shoots. In no time you have eternal stock of lemongrass.
Lemongrass is a tropical plant and will grow best if you can create a warm, humid environment for it. It likes well-drained soil and lots of sun.
Call into your local library and ask for a book would be your best bet.
