Is It Okay to Plant Something at Night?

My mother had been bugging my brother to bring a lemongrass that she could replant. Since my brother is scheduled to work in the field today, he got home with the bunch of lemongrass. When I arrived at our store, I saw it. Told my mama, glad you now have a lemongrass for you to grow. Then, she told me to replant it. So I did, tonight. Lol! Guess, I regain my energy because I didn't wait until tomorrow. And this is the first time I did plant something at night. There isn't a myth or belief, right? about planting after dark. A night photo is been hiding in the archives year 2023. Now, gotta head to bed. Goodnight!

Lemongrass is fine to plant any time as long as you water it well after it was planted. It does need to be in full sun during the daytime and keep it moist but don't drown it. (Let it dry out for two or three days and then water it again.) We have a pot of lemongrass growing in our kitchen. It can go outside during the summer but has to be brought back inside during the cold winter here. I just keep it in a sunny spot in the kitchen and water it once in a while.

The replanted lemongrass is doing fine. So I guess, I've done a good job. I did planted it outside the house since we only have a tropical season here and our area does not experience heavy rainfall so it safe not to get drown.

You can plant anything at night that you want to plant. Lemongrass is a nice plant to use in cooking

@Jehanne Well I hope it grows well for her. And the cooking tastes very good with the lemon grass

only neighbors would likely do that than goblins. Hahaha You know here when neighbors ask for some lemongrass instead of picking only few sometimes end up pulling everything.

My grandfather used to tell us that planting potatoes was best done at night. Anything is possible I suppose.

yeah. And I think It's better to plant at night because I won't have a hard time working under the scorching sun.

somewhat it is strange. But I think is it okay to plant at night as long as you won't get hurt yourself because it's dark.
