I have 6 of these lemon grass plants. They have grown between 2 1/2 to 3 1/2. Problem is their is no aroma or smell of lemons. What's up with this?

I am in zone 7 and have already brought mine inside as cant survive cold. You have to cut strips of the plant and boil in water to make tea to get the lemon flavor. Mine as is does not have a lemon smell either its when you cut it you get the smell

I bought and planted 8 last spring and they are doing great. They have a lemon scent but most humans are unable to detect it. My dogs and cats can smell it because they love to nibble on it. Mosquitos can apparently smell it too because we have much fewer in our back yard this year. (In mosquito haven in South Mississippi) And I've tasted it. Tastes great, like lemon.

The lemon aroma will increase as the grass grows. The bottom of the blade stalk which will grow to 1/8th to 1/4" thick has the strongest flavor and is cooked in Asian food. The top of the grass blade has a mild aroma which may not be detectable.

My plant is about 2 feet tall and only about 2.5 months old, but I have an odor of lemon within about 3 feet of it. The only thing I can think of is the type of soil and/or plant food you are using. I live in the North Georgia mountains and my soil is primarily red clay, but I enrich my garden with potting soil and feed my plants every two weeks with a liquid food dispensed via my garden hose. Consider having your County Agent evaluate your soil quality and recommend plant food for your particular soil. I am most pleased with my plant since it is right at my front door and has significantly decreased my mosquito population. Hope this helps.

I guess it depends on what is floating. It is suppose to have a little bit of fiber from the plant...but if it looks like a bug or anything odd, I would send it back. Also, smell it...it should smell good, not rancid.

Mine didn't smell at all. I would try hot soapy water or some vinegar and baking soda for the smell. If it doesn't go away amazon may exchange them. Good luck.

We bought these two clementines for our Las Vegas home and they seem to grow very slowly.Sorry for not being able to give your the proper response you've needed since they're in desert area.

I bought several plants and none of them bloomed at all this season. My parents have the same plants and they are beautiful. It could be that it was damaged in shipping or that it just got some type of disease. If you got any of the pods from the vines save those let them dry out and plant them in the spring. the pods house the seeds.

You should be able to. All it is it smells like lemongrass. Worked good for two weeks

Unknown. My experience only involves house plants. Sorry I couldn't assist.

Charles it is a tediously slow growing plant. I ordered 2 plants. One came in march, and we had it indoors till it got warmer in Arizona. I ordered a 2nd one because the first was taking so long to sprout a new leaf. That one was healthier looking when it arrived. We took both out in May.. when it got to be hot outdoors. They have been growing beautifully since. Adding miricle grow helped. Good luck!

Mine never smelled so I suspect yours.may have been accidentally exposed to something. I should tell you that I am very sensitive to smells, especially of chemical origin. I would return it.

I must say, I was disappointed in my plant. Grew plenty of green but only 3 flowers. They do not like drought. They like moist soil and humidity and don't even begin to bloom until there are warm nights. I live in southern California in an area that has cool nights. I also planted it as a hanging basket, so that may have been the problem. Contact Renee's Gardens. She will help you as she is the one selling the seeds

The smell it slightly lemony in my opinion (although there's no lemon in the ingredients) and it's not very strong. It's a pleasant smell.

There is very little noticeable aroma. What little that you can detect I would describe as a "clean herbal" scent--not at all unpleasant.

from what i've read, the fragrance increases with age in all honeysuckles. mine haven't flowered yet, so i'm unsure. what i do know is many supossedly fragrant jasmines i've purchased have no scent. i think the fault lies with the growers.

Greetings Y. Tang. Yes it is normal for them to have a slight smell to them. However, it isn't unpleasant. If the odor you smell is too strong or you feel is not normal, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your concerns and see if there is anything they can do for you. I hope this helped. :-) Be blessed.

It has a slight smell that goes away after a day or so. I'm not sure how to descbe it exactly. Sorta like lemon and vanilla.

My lemon tree is only about 2 ft. tall and has been inside all winter. I added 1 3/4C. Jobe's fertilizer and watered it well. that was two days ago and it appears to be doing very well. Because my tree has been inside I have been misting the leaves every day. It had about 50 blossoms on it and is very healthy. I hope to plant it in the ground in April or May.,

I don't believe that you'd received a stale box of tea from the company. Have you even tasted the tea ? My box doesn't smell like fresh grass either. If your having trouble with the taste / smell what I do is place another flavored bag of tea in along side of the Oolong tea. You can also add some honey lemon or booze to perk up your tea drink. Its dealers choice for your own satisfaction. Be creative and enjoy :-)
