Hi Courtney,
I have grown lemon grass from seed and did nothing special. I keep the temp in my greenhouse from freezing (maybe cooler than what you're doing). I have the seed in mostly peat moss (I use the hypnum kind, Peaco brand out of Montana - prefer over any sphagnum type), and I keep it moist.
Make sure you have viable seed. You might try buying from two or three sources. I have had lemon grass seed become unviable from age.

Hope everyone is doing well this time of year and I know we are ready to start hearing the spring peepers here in Ohio! I am wondering if anyone here has started lemon grass from seed? I am trying it again this year, no success last year and hope that I will get something from them? I am out of room now on the heat table but have them sitting on top of 2 shop lights on my grow rack. Lights are hanging from conduit above and seem to have the right heat for now. Any suggestions on what I am doing and not doing? I would really love to have extra plants this for a change, would sell great at my markets. I am over wintering one to plant out in the greenhouse when the nights stay above 50Â…which probably means July!!! LOL!
Thanks,
Courtney
