Chiba grassland, produced in New Zealand, has a strong habit and likes warm and humid environment. It can grow normally in sunny and semi-shady places and has strong cold tolerance. It can withstand the low temperature of about 0℃ in winter, but it is necessary to avoid ice and snow falling directly on plants and reduce watering. If the roots are soaked with water, they will rot and damage plants. Keep the soil and air moist during the growth period and avoid being too dry, otherwise the leaves will dry up and fall off. Apply decomposed dilute liquid fertilizer or special fertilizer for foliage plants once a month. In summer, pay attention to good ventilation and proper shading to prevent sun exposure. Change the basin once a year in spring, and the basin soil should be loose and fertile sand with good drainage and ventilation. When sprouting, the plant is pruned once, and the long and dense branches and some old branches are cut off, and many new branches will grow at its nodes, making the plant fuller. Due to its rapid growth, chiba grass should be reshaped frequently in cultivation, and the branches that affect the plant shape should be cut off in time to keep beautiful.
Chiba grass can be propagated by changing pots and dividing plants, cutting in the growing season, or using branches cut during spring pruning. Cutting time should avoid high temperature in summer and cold season in winter, and keep the soil and air moist after cutting, which is easy to take root.
