Citronella Java's short root system means it can only grow in well-watered environments so cultivation is spread out to reduce risk of loss from drought.

Citronella can be used as an analgesic to reduce swelling in joints or minor muscle injuries. It can treat acne and oily skin. It is relaxing for a good nights sleep while keeping insects away.
