Forum: Black Lines On Lemongrass.

Black lines on Lemongrass.

6 responses

Lincoln starts with ... I've recently bought a lemongrass from Daley's and after about a week it's developed this raised black lines on the leaves. I can scrape most of it off with my finger but it looks set in. I'm suspecting it's fungus rather than bugs. Has anyone seen this before? Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Rahaidi says... Plus one with Navman, rust. Just give it a hedge cut, splash it with mangozeb and throw down some chook poo around the base and watch it go berserk. Otherwise just cut off the effected leaves, its tough. Handle the leaves with care though its sharp like glass.

Brad says... Hi Rahaidi, I was given some lemon grass and have three smallish plants which came from a pot and have been in the ground about a month. Should I be cutting them back to encourage growth or just let them do their thing? thanks,	About the Author Brad2 Como, Perth 7th December 2009 9:25pm #UserID: 2323 Posts: 762 View All Brad2's Edible Fruit Trees

Rahaidi says... Hi Brad, with the onset of warmer weather here in Perth they should be good for a trim. I find that they fatten up more doing this a several times in the growing season.
