Citronella

Description

A tropical, evergreen grass that forms clumps and can grow up to 2.5 meters tall. It has long, thin, bright green leaves and a reddish pseudostem (the base of the leaf blade). The plant produces small, creamy-white flowers on spikes that rise above the foliage. Citronella grass is native to tropical Asia and is the source of citronella oil, which is used as a natural insect repellent.

Plant Care

• Citronella plants need full sunlight to thrive but can tolerate light afternoon shade—especially in regions with punishingly hot summers.
• Let the soil dry slightly between waterings and water your citronella plant only when the top two inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
• Citronella plants fare best in temperatures between 50° and 80°F with a humidity level between 40% and 70%.
• Citronella, like other scented geraniums, doesn't require much fertilizer throughout the growing season.
