1. Cut the stem together with the roots for about 4-5 inches long
2. If you like to put it on pot, you must choose the size that are not easil broken.
*1 stem is enough for 6*6*10 pot or seedling bag.
3. As you can see the picture above, the citronella are very thin, because the roots wont be able to grow well in small plastic, meaning the larger the pot the healthier grow.
4. Now, as you started to plant; put the citronella cuttings on your pot for about 2 inches deep from the root.
5. Make sure that the soil are moisten when they are started to germinate new root.
6. Never attempt to pull out the planted citronellas for about 2 weeks from the day you started to plant.
7. After 3 weeks you will notice the the babies around the stem near soil, yhe motherplant may be decompose or rot for some reasons but the babies will continue to grow and give you best aroma in your garden.
-however the citronellas are not that sensitive, they like to get the full sun for about 6-8 hours.-
Happy Planting!
Hope that this video will help you to encourage planting citronellas.
