Hi there. I don't know if it is the right place to ask this question but I am going to grow lemon grass for the first time. I got seeds from this site: gardenseedsmarket.com/lemon-grass-seeds-cymbopogon-citratus.html , put them into the pot but they are sprouting quite slow. Is it okay? Am I doing something wrong? They require quite high temperature because it is over 20 degrees...I try to achieve it but it is sometimes hard for me, maybe this is the reason? what do you think? |

I have never seen lemongrass give seeds, all is done by division here in tropical countries, and as such, it should need at least the heat that a nepenthes needs to grow as I have not seen it ever grown at 2000+m high

I've grown lemongrass from seed before. The plants got to 2-3' outside here in Oregon which is plenty for harvesting leaves, but you won't get the nice fleshy stalks you use for cooking without a proper tropical climate.
And yes it is quite rare for the plants to produce seed. I'm not sure how the seed producers do it but they must have a reliable method.
