Habits of lemongrass
Lemongrass is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. It likes a hot and rainy climate and grows well in areas with no frost or little frost.
Because its root system is well developed, it is drought-tolerant and barren-tolerant, and its growth is relatively extensive.
Temperature is the limiting factor for the distribution of lemongrass in China. As long as there is light frost, the leaf tips begin to suffer freezing damage, and when the temperature drops to -1.8°C, almost all the leaves are damaged.
Therefore, in places with long periods of low temperature in winter and severe frost damage, it is difficult for lemongrass to overwinter. Lemongrass generally must be renewed once every 3 years of planting.
