Habits of citronella

Citronella is native to tropical Southeast Asia, likes high temperature and rainy climate, and grows well in frost-free or less frost-free areas.

Because of the well-developed root system, it can tolerate drought and barren, and its growth is relatively extensive.

Temperature is the limiting factor for the distribution of citronella in China. As long as there is light frost, the leaf tip begins to suffer frost injury, and almost all the leaves suffer when the air temperature drops to-1.8 ℃.

Therefore, it is difficult to survive the winter where the low temperature is long and the frost damage is serious. Citronella must be renewed once every 3 years.
