Second point: Maintain sufficient sunlight
When growing Pogonatherum citriforme, we often encounter phenomena such as yellowing and瘦小 leaves and leggy stems, which are actually caused by insufficient sunlight. Pogonatherum citriforme is actually a plant that loves to bask in the sun and its demand for sunlight is increasing. Even in the hot summer, there is no need to worry about its leaves getting sunburned. Instead, the more sunlight it receives, the greener and thicker the leaves will be, and the aroma will be more intense.
Therefore, as long as the temperature is not higher than 35 degrees, we can safely place Pogonatherum citriforme in a sunny environment during the growing process and ensure it receives sufficient sunlight throughout the day. Of course, to make Pogonatherum citriforme grow more vigorously, we should also keep the growing temperature around 20 degrees, plus sufficient sunlight, which will make Pogonatherum citriforme grow more vigorously and the aroma more intense.
Third point: Do not water too much
Pogonatherum citriforme prefers a relatively dry growing environment, so its demand for water is not high. Therefore, when growing it, we should also control the amount of watering, ensuring the principle of keeping it dry rather than wet. Even short-term water deficiency will not cause significant harm to Pogonatherum citriforme, and it can gradually recover after being watered thoroughly.
