- Soil requirements: Citronella seeds prefer well-draining, loamy soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.5. The soil should be rich in organic matter to support healthy growth.
- Sunlight needs: Citronella plants thrive in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They can tolerate partial shade but may not grow as vigorously.
- Watering requirements: Water the plants regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. During hot and dry periods, increase the frequency of watering to prevent the soil from drying out completely.
- Planting season: The best time to plant citronella seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. This ensures that the seeds have a warm environment to germinate and grow.
- Depth and spacing: Plant the seeds at a depth of about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) and space them approximately 18-24 inches (45-60 cm) apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Germination time: Citronella seeds typically germinate within 14-21 days under optimal conditions. Maintain a consistent temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C) to encourage germination.
- Maturity time: Citronella plants usually reach maturity within 3-4 months after planting. The leaves can be harvested once the plant is well-established and has a good amount of foliage.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest citronella leaves is in the early morning when the essential oil content is at its peak. This ensures the highest potency and fragrance.
- Harvesting tips: Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the leaves, taking care not to damage the plant. Harvest regularly to encourage new growth. Store the harvested leaves in a cool, dry place or use them fresh for the best results.
