Axonopus compressus, commonly known as carpet grass, is a species in the Poaceae family. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions and is often found in seasonally dry tropical climates. This plant can be either annual or perennial, depending on the environmental conditions. It is commonly used as a ground cover due to its dense, mat-forming growth habit.
Carpet grass is relatively easy to care for. It prefers moderate temperatures and medium light conditions. Ensure the soil remains partially dry between waterings. This plant thrives in high humidity and can tolerate a range of temperatures, making it suitable for outdoor growth in tropical and subtropical regions.
Bodem
Axonopus compressus prefers loamy soil with good drainage. The soil should be kept partially dry between waterings to prevent root rot. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in nutrient-rich, well-draining soil.
Kunstmest
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant during the growing season to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive growth and potential disease issues.
Verpotten
Carpet grass is typically not repotted as it is primarily used as a ground cover. If grown in containers, repotting is not necessary unless the plant outgrows its container, which is rare.
Voortplanting
Axonopus compressus can be propagated through seed or division. The best time to propagate is during the growing season. For division, separate the clumps and replant them in suitable soil. Ensure the new plants are watered adequately until they establish.
Snoeien
Pruning is generally not required for carpet grass. However, if the plant becomes too dense or overgrown, it can be mowed or trimmed to maintain its appearance and health.
Toxiciteit
Axonopus compressus is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in areas accessible to children and animals.
