Water Regularly: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Lemongrass loves humidity and moisture.

Space Properly: Space plants or clumps about 24 inches apart to allow for growth and air circulation.

Fertilize Lightly: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting and throughout the growing season.

Mulch: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep the roots warm.
