    You can move the potted citronella outside to a spot that receives full sun during the warmer spring to fall months once nighttime temperatures are regularly above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you can choose to bring the plant indoors to a sunny spot for the winter only.

    That soil appears to be over-wet, which can cause this. This is usually the most likely culprit. Make sure to let the soil dry slightly between waterings, and do not let it sit in water.

    It might be wise to try and root another cutting just in case the plant becomes un-salvageable. Make sure when you are trying to root these that the soil has only a very small nutrient content, as heavy nutrients will actually prevent rooting. After they have rooted you can apply a more rich soil, or feed.

    Alternatively, Temperatures in the low 60's can cause this. These are not at all cold hardy.
