A bush that prefers wet, humid conditions. Resistant to most pests. May be grown successfully in a large container and in isolation as it will keep growing out feeder roots and stems and tends to populate the entire growing space over time. Water well and deeply as this is a water loving grass and will die out, or its growth will get stunted if it does not get its daily drin. It needs full and strong sunlight for eight hours each day. Container friendly. Grows quickly. The leaves growing around the main shoot/stem may be harvested whenever needed and used immediately as they do not last long in a refrigerator/outside. A great asset to have on hand while making chai. To know more, please visit: https://mumbaifarmer.com/what-to-grow/growing-lemongrass-in-mumbai/
