Keep in mind that I never knew that citronella was a plant, I only thought it was a bug-repelling candle.

they can take sun however mine did best in morning sun and afternoon shade.they only need watering 2-3x a week and are a great bug repellant.their leaves are pretty cool looking too. i never knew they were a plant either until i was attracted to their leaves one day shopping in walmart and sure enough there i learned citronella was a plant. contrary to what the above person said, drought tolerant means they can handle drought which means they do not have to be watered every day.2x a week in well drained soil to 3 x a week in really hot places. i live in florida and 2-3x a week was sufficient and it did well in my garden.you can google the plant and find out more about it.

This plant is suitable for growing indoors, slightly exposed to sun or even partial shade, in addition to being
drought-tolerant, so water regularly (be careful to not overwater)
