When lemongrass is grown in containers, shift the plants to larger pots as needed. We are now fully open again to provide both indoor and outdoor patio service. Due to the current Covid-19 situation we have taken the following extra steps and precautions to prevent spread of disease and to act responsibly while still providing service. Plants may rot in poorly drained clay soil. At Lemongrass the health and safety of our community, guests, and staff is priority. The most tender leaves are found close to the stems. Leave the plant to develop some thick stems before starting to harvest. Grow it through winter in a sunny windowsill, providing only small amounts of water, and replant outdoors the following spring. In late summer, dig away an outer stalk, cut back the leaves to 3 inches (8 cm), and plant it in a small container. Our Garden Planner can produce a personalized calendar of when to sow, plant and harvest for your area. Plant lemongrass in a warm, sunny spot that is convenient to water. You can also root a stalk from the produce market in water. Start with a purchased plant in spring, and grow it in a pot until the soil warms in early summer. These medicinal plants are used in herbal teas and other nonalcoholic beverages. Rows: 1' 11' (60cm) with 2' 11' (90cm) row gap (minimum) Sow and Plant We offer lemon grass herbs that are commonly known as lemongrass or gingergrass. Single Plants: 2' 3' (70cm) each way (minimum) In all climates, potted plants are easy to keep through winter indoors. Lemongrass is a tropical plant that freezes to death where winter temperatures drop below 15F (-9C). Therefore, the information will help scientists and researchers to screen the compounds responsible for different bioactivities and to elucidate the molecular mechanism of action.Lemongrass Growing Guide Crop Rotation Group In the changing global scenario, the interest toward plants with medicinal value is increasing substantially in the primary healthcare system both in the developed and in the developing countries. With regard to the development of quality herbal medicine standardization of the extracts, phytopharmacology of different extracts, isolation and characterization of active phytopharmaceuticals, elucidation of the mechanism of action of the isolated compounds and clinical trials of the compounds are much needed. Hence, we can isolate some pure phytopharmaceuticals, which in turn can be used as lead molecules for synthesizing the novel agents having good therapeutic activity. Cymbopogon citratus contains various phytoconstituents such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds, terpenoids and essential oils, which may be responsible for the different biological activities. The plant is also used as an antibacterial, antidiarrheal and antioxidant, but the mode of action for the different bioactivities has not been studied in detail. The plant is used as a fragrance and flavoring agent and in folk medicine as an antispasmodic, hypotensive, anticonvulsant, analgesic, antiemetic, antitussive, antirheumatic, antiseptic and treatment for nervous and gastrointestinal disorders and fevers. These results are very encouraging and indicate that this herb should be studied more extensively to confirm these results and reveal other potential therapeutic effects.Д¬ymbopogon citratus is native to Sri Lanka and South India, and is now widely cultivated in the tropical areas of America and Asia. Various other effects like antimalarial, antimutagenicity, antimycobacterial, antioxidants, hypoglycemic and neurobehaviorial have also been studied. Studies indicate that Cymbopogon citratus possesses various pharmacological activities such as anti-amoebic, antibacterial, antidiarrheal, antifilarial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties. The plant also contains reported phytoconstituents such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which consist of luteolin, isoorientin 2вЂ™-O-rhamnoside, quercetin, kaempferol and apiginin. Some of the reported phytoconstituents are essential oils that contain Citral О±, Citral ОІ, Nerol Geraniol, Citronellal, Terpinolene, Geranyl acetate, Myrecene and Terpinol Methylheptenone. The compounds identified in Cymbopogon citratus are mainly terpenes, alcohols, ketones, aldehyde and esters. The essential oil of the plant is used in aromatherapy.

Cymbopogon citratus, Stapf (Lemon grass) is a widely used herb in tropical countries, especially in Southeast Asia.
