Rudimentaries
Nourishment
We recommend feeding your Mondo Grass Plant Growtabbs™ or any equivalent all purpose plant food once in 2 months along with a spray of Bahaar™ or any equivalent multipurpose fertilizer once a month to keep the deep green colour.
Repotting
They are spreading grass that can be devided into clumps to create new plants. It does not have any particular repotting needs as it is a low growing plant with shallow root system.Instead of repotting, just divide the existing plant. If you wish to repot then do it when the existing pot is full of clumps.
Rays of Sunshine
It does best in filtered sunlight. It can tolerate direct light as well as partial shade.
Viable Locations
It's a beautifull clumpy grass with dark green foliage. You can keep it anywhere in home or Office.
Water Levels
Your plants will arrive in a self-watering pot adept at safeguarding a continually moist potting medium. If the soil appears to be dry, gently lift the black inner container to check the reservoir's water level. If the reservoir is nearly empty, add 150-175 mL of water to the soil from the top.
