How to care for Awned Canary Grass

Difficulty

With its straightforward care requirements, Awned Canary Grass is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.

Water

Awned Canary Grass should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Soil

The Awned Canary Grass is very susceptible to soil that is too wet, so it's essential to choose a potting soil that drains well and does not retain excessive moisture. A soil mix that includes plenty of perlite or vermiculite for drainage and some organic matter for nutrition is ideal. You can easily create this type of soil by adding a few handfuls of perlite to regular cactus soil from the store.

Lighting

To ensure optimal growth, the Awned Canary Grass prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
