Lemongrass planted in yard

Question

My lemongrass plant is huge, and I would like to thin it out. How do I do this? I tried grabbing one stalk and pulling it out, but it’s like cement. Do I have to wait for a specific time of year to do this? Appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

Answer 1

The younger plants are much easier to remove; however, it may also help to thoroughly wet down the area for about 15 min. or so. This will usually make the ground softer and pulling/digging of plants easier.
