My Citronella plant doesn’t smell like Citronella?!
What am I doing wrong? The plant is full and healthy looking, it’s taken a long time to grow (maybe 2 months or so) but when I pick the leaves and activate them, they smell like nothing at all!

It looks like the plant in the green bowl is not doing well. It appears to be wilting and losing its leaves. This could be due to a variety of factors, including poor soil quality, lack of water, or pests and diseases. One solution to improve the health of the plant is to provide it with better soil quality and a consistent watering schedule. It may also be necessary to treat the plant for pests or diseases, which can be done with appropriate pesticides or fungicides. Additionally, providing the plant with adequate light and air circulation can also help improve its health. Another solution is to replace the plant with a new one, or to transplant it to a different location with better growing conditions. It is also important to monitor the plant's health and make adjustments as needed to ensure its continued growth and well-being.
If it looks a little welted, it’s because it was very hot today in NY while I was not home.
Maybe it’s the flowers that cause the fragrance?
If i happen to brush up against the leaves, mine tends to smell of lemon for a bit.
