Cymbopogon citratus, commonly known as West Indian lemon grass or simply lemon grass, [3] is a tropical plant native to South Asia and Maritime Southeast Asia and introduced to many tropical regions. [4] Cymbopogon citratus is often sold in stem form. While it can be grown in warmer temperate regions, such as the UK, it is not hardy to frost.

While both can be used interchangeably, C. citratus is more suitable for cooking.

With top-fed deep water culture, the roots get easy access to water from the beginning and will grow to the reservoir below much more quickly than with a deep water culture system. Once the roots have reached the reservoir below, there is not a huge advantage with top-fed deep water culture over standard deep water culture.
It is recommended to plant this species closer than you would normally find in the established forest. "close planting imitates the growth of the seedlings on the forest floor", resulting in plants tending to grow upward more rapidly. P. eugenioides is one of the best plants for this rapid canopy growth because it is already fast growing. [10]
Marram grass has a rolled leaf that creates a localized environment of water vapour concentration within the leaf and helps to prevent water loss. The stomata sit in small pits within the curls of the structure, which makes them less likely to open and lose water. The folded leaves have hairs on the inside to slow or stop air movement, much ...
