Signs of Cold Stress in Lemon grass

Symptoms

Lemon grass thrives in warmth and cannot withstand cold. Optimal growth occurs above 68℉. In winter, maintain temperatures above 59℉. Below 50℉, leaves may lose color. Post-frost, they progressively turn brown or black, exhibiting wilting and drooping.

Solutions

Remove frost-damaged sections. Promptly relocate indoors to a warm area for protection. Position the plant near a south-facing window for sufficient light. Avoid proximity to heating or AC vents to prevent air desiccation.
