Lemon Geranium, also known as lemongrass, is an herbaceous plant valued for its lemony scent and mosquito-repelling properties. Native to Southeast Asia, this plant is often grown for its aromatic leaves and decorative appeal.
The leaves of the Lemon Geranium are finely cut and release a refreshing lemon scent when crushed. They are usually green with a rough texture. This plant also produces small white or pinkish flowers that add a pop of color to its appearance.
To care for your Lemon Geranium, place it in a sunny to partial shade location, where it can benefit from a few hours of direct sun each day. Water regularly to keep the soil slightly moist, but avoid excess water which could lead to root rot problems. You can also lightly fertilize your plant with a balanced fertilizer during the active growing period.
The Lemon Geranium is an undemanding and resistant plant, ideal for beginner gardeners or those looking for an easy-to-maintain indoor or outdoor plant. With its mosquito repellent properties and refreshing lemony scent, it can add a touch of pleasant aroma and greenery to your garden, patio or interior, while helping to keep unwanted insects away.
