How to Choose the Right Lemongrass
If you want quick results, start with a lemongrass sapling — it settles in within days and is nearly low maintenance once established. If you enjoy starting from scratch and want to save even more, lemongrass seeds are a rewarding and affordable pick. Both grow well in pots as small as 8 inches, making them perfect for apartments and small balconies.
For cooking and tea, go with standard lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). For keeping pests away or lining garden borders, citronella grass is the one to choose. Both varieties thrive across most Indian climates, including humid coastal regions and dry inland areas.

Frequently asked questions
Can lemongrass grow in pots at home?
Yes, lemongrass grows very well in pots. A container that is at least 8–10 inches deep works well for a single plant. Place it on a sunny windowsill, balcony, or terrace and water it 2–3 times a week. It is one of the most easy-to-grow herbs for Indian home gardeners.
How long does lemongrass take to grow from seeds?
Lemongrass seeds typically germinate in 10–21 days when sown in warm, moist soil. The plant reaches a harvestable size in about 3–4 months. If you want faster results, starting with a sapling from our collection will save you several weeks of waiting.
Is lemongrass good for repelling mosquitoes?
Yes — lemongrass contains citronella oil, a natural compound well known for keeping mosquitoes away. Growing lemongrass near windows, doors, or on your balcony can help reduce mosquitoes without any chemicals. Citronella grass, a close relative, is even more potent and is also available in our collection.
What is the best time to plant lemongrass in India?
The ideal time to plant lemongrass in India is at the start of the monsoon season (June–July) or in early spring (February–March). The warm temperatures and good moisture help the plant establish quickly. However, lemongrass grown indoors in pots can be started almost any time of year.
Can I use lemongrass from the garden for cooking and tea?
Absolutely — homegrown lemongrass is fresh, free of pesticides, and perfect for cooking, herbal teas, and Ayurvedic remedies. Simply cut a stalk at the base, peel off the outer layer, and use the tender inner part. One plant can give you regular harvests for months with minimal care.
