in India, we make a syrup with the roots of Vetiver with Fennel seeds and sugar, and it's such a refreshing coolant.
I add two teaspoons of it in ice water and drink all the Summer.
Also, the oil of the roots is used as a perfume for Biryani and other desserts, it's insanely fragrant and nothing compares to that aroma.
What is it called in Hindi?
@@mayat354 it's called "khus"
Khus. Green colour sharbat. @@mayat354
@@mayat354 It is khus

I have a rose bush in full AZ sun that I never water but it always does amazing. I couldn’t figure out why for years. I thought the vetiver bush next to it was shading it, but I didn’t think about the roots aerating the soil
You have a very 'young' channel yet brought new info to me an old timey gardener. Thanks !
Thank you for your kind words and for watching!
The oils and scent of vetiver is wonderful
That was a great video! Thank you! You answered everything I had questions about and explained so well! 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Good information,.❤️ From Dalhousie Himachal Pradesh, India.
Vetiver drink is something everyone should try. It tastes HEAVENLY. Very common in the summers here in india
What is the recipe and what are the benefits
Some tried it here for pressure . But that is their personal experiences .
@@shamlamoodley5132 it’s mainly for cooling your body down when the summer is so scorching hot. The grass is turned into a syrup and you prepare it exactly like a lemonade with plenty of crushed ice
Interesting. I'll have to look into that!
Yes it tastes unique and known for cooling properties in India. Known by "Khus" sharbat /drink. It's prepared from roots of vetiver. Also during summer it's roots are used in Water Coolers as Cooling pads. Vetiver root hats 🤠 are sold during summer in India.
Does it taste like lemongrass
We are in South Africa and Thank you for sharing this amazing grass benefits . It is truly the miracle grass we use it Here for so many many reasons . 🙏🏻
Which part of SA are you in? I'm looking to source some of this in Cape Town. Would appreciate any references.
Verviers also has amazing properties that helps the skin and body. Also, serves as an insect repellent. Thanks for sharing
It’s interesting that it’s an insect repellent because my bush in my yard always has baby ladybugs in the “alligator” stage hiding out in it
Yes…wow. The fact of the matter is our Creator God created EVERYTHING we need to survive. The LORD JESUS IS AWESOME!
It can also be used to make baskets.
I had never heard of this grass before. Very informative
Thanks for watching!
This grass is the best in the world everything what he’s saying is true I’m from El Salvador and we have a lot of volcano’s and this plan is became really handy for us there but now I live in USA and I live in indiana so I’m wondering if this plan will made it here cuz the weather is cold in the winter ❄️
thanks . always wanted to know more about it . I like the essential oil of it as well.
The roots are used to extract the essential oils
Harvest the roots and smell the fragrance .. u can spritz it and hang it up in your home and it has such a relaxing scent.
Well it depends on which soil and how long it has been in the ground u will find some scents are more feminine and some very masculine..
In the ancient times in India it was made into blinds and it provided natural air-conditioning. They sprayed it with water and when the warm winds passed thru it it cooled down and filled the home with a mist of beautiful smells ..
Yes I am in love with this grass . I hope u can also adopt it for the environmental work it does .. purify the soil and of toxins and prevents soil erosion well the list is endless ..
Happy researching
I like the way you are using it. It looks great.
Their roots smell heavenly.
Great information. I planted around 10,000 slips of Vetiver amongst Mango Orchard of 700 mango plants.
700 mangos?!?! That’s awesome! Thanks for watching.
@rockyshishir Where did you buy the slips? I need some
Thank you for this great info and nice presentation
Glad it was helpful!
You did a great job with this video. You were informative and now i want to get some vetiver grass lol
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Wow
I love this grass
We're did you buy it ?
I'm in Yuma.
You got a new subscriber,thanks a lot.
Thanks for watching! I got mine from Shamus Oleary, in Phoenix.
Great video, helpful
Glad it was helpful!
I live on a hill with a lot of rock ledges. The soil is alkaline or clay. The rock is broken karst (limestone.). Do I need to build up to plant it, or break some rock and add soil? Will its roots find their way? If I put it in a pot to start it, how long until the roots are needing more room? Thank you! Loved your video. Just ordered 10 1 gallon pots…
Will this root system damage pipes or buried power lines?
Also, would it help to soak up rain water in a low section of our yard? We live in Costa Rica and have a really boggy area during the rainy season.
No it will not damage the pipe or power lines but it will grow around it binding the soil and the line. Only problem is if you need to access the line it WILL be a challenge. Yes it will help soak up the rain water.
Searched for it. I found a good price but the website said not available in my state, Alabama. Other sites like Etsy charge close to $45 with shipping for one plant.
Ya, it can be hard to source in many areas. Keep looking, it's worth it!
Does the vetiver grass have to be dried before being used as mulch? I have heard that using fresh clippings can steal nitrogen from the soil
Nope, chop and drop. Literally.
Nice! I’m in East Mesa and growing lemon grass very well, which looks similar and helps keep mosquitoes away. What part of AZ are you in? And where do I find this grass?
I'm in Mesa as well. Shamus Oleary in Phoenix has some.
10/10 A + lol :)
What's up what's up what's up what's up T-bone in the house Hi every one! Hey! :) Simone say Jump High five! Simone say jump Chest high five with "CEO" lol :)
They use to call me David Arqeutte Derby 500 if they knew the real story! :) lol
Thank you! Great Video!
Where did you buy it in Phoenix. Love your videos thanks you’re a great help!
I bought mine at Shamus O'Leary.
Thanks for watching and the support!
Thanks for all the info! Does Vetiver die back in the winter time below 33 degrees?
It can, but it usually just thins out a bit and stops growing during the winter. Once it heats up, it takes off again.
This is all very interesting to me.
Great video on Vetiver? Where did you purchase yours? Do you propagate your for sale? If so, I'd be interested in purchasing.
GREAT VIDEO ON VETIVER!!!!!!!
We can provide you VETIVER in low price.
Very cool grass, great info, does Texas root rot cause any issues with this grass variety and thanks for sharing.
Not that I know of. I can't see that being an issue.
@@TheGardenNerd thanks. I lost a few hedges to Texas root rot and I was thinking to replace with either clumping bamboo or some type of grass because they are resistant to the Texas root rot.
@@danielfisch655 I would for sure give Vetiver grass a shot. Of course I love bamboo as well, haha.
Simone say touch ur toe's, lol :) Simone say twist left, right! left right! now! Jump! Jump Jump! jump! "JUMPING JACK'S" lol :)
Got plenty growing in my place but don't know what's the use.
Nice video, thank you. We live in Arizona too, where were you able to buy the vetiver?
I got this from Shamus Oleary's nursery.
@@TheGardenNerd thank you so much, I’ll have to check that place out
Great video. Looking for plants for erosion control. Where can the grass be purchased? Interested in selling me few cuttings? I’m in Southern California
👍
what time of the year do you divide it and plant it ???
Any time between March and October works for me in 9b. I usually do all my propagated around the spring equinox and let them grow out for a season before propagating again.
Hi loved the video. How’s does it do in the winter here in Phoenix? Would you recommend amending the soil when planting this in ground?
They do just fine in the winter. I didn't ammend soil at all. I don't think it's necessary.
You unfortunately mispronounce the plant's name. The emphasis is on the first syllable: VET-iver. The last syllable is short, not vare(sic), but rhyming with river.
What else do you grow that is chop & drop? I've heard Mexican Sunflower and Pigeon Pea are good for this as well, do you grow either of those?
Any locations in the northwest valley you know of that sell this?
Hi I bought 10 plantings and are already in the soil but I'm worried that they lost the green color they come with, what to do ? Is it normal until they stablish?
I water them every third day... And the soil looks moist ...help!
Plant it in a sack next time. I had already done that and got a good result
@@oldchild527 They turn purple when they are stressed. In Florida the growing season is between march and october, which is sounds like you planted them in. I have propagated thousands of plants and get the best results by putting cuttings into pots first then putting them in the ground once they outgrow the pot.
I’ve heard vetiver referred to as the zombi plant. It seems to die and then comes up when it likes the conditions.
I suspect you’ve figured this out by now so I’m posting for future readers.
Trust the process.
thank you
Where do I buy Vetiver grass
Is this the time of year to plant Vetiver plants? Where can I get them? Thanks
Where to buy it and under what name? Since it seems to have different varieties of Vetiver.
Will it grow in zone 6b? I’m in KS.
Unfortunately, it's probably too cold there.
I’ve seen reports of vetiver returning after being buried in 2 feet of snow.
From what I’ve found, the cold will stunt its growth, but has a difficult time actually killing vetiver. Vetiver, aka the zombie plant.
I don’t know where in Kansas you are, but I remember the Hays area having good growing conditions for vetiver most of the year.
THIS VETIVER IS DIFERENT TO HOME DEPOT VETIVER, I HAVE ON CUBA AND I LOVE ,,I NEED BAY THIS TYPE OF VETIVER PLEASE CAN YOU SELL PLEASE ?

I have a fence that has poison ivy that comes over from my neighbors yard, do you think if I made a hedge row along my fence of this it would Lee their poison ivy out?
I bought mine at a local nursery. I'm sure you can find them online and have them shipped.

Vetiver grass can eliminate much of socials issues, but our government makes it difficult to attain slips of the plant because they don't want people being sustainable.
I ordered some from Etsy.
