DETAILS
Care Instructions
Koeleria macrantha thrives in temperate climates with moderate temperatures. It prefers direct bright light and should be watered when the soil is almost completely dry. This grass does well in moderate humidity and does not require frequent fertilization.Soil
Junegrass prefers well-draining loam soil. It can tolerate a range of soil types but performs best in soils that are not too rich in nutrients. Good drainage is essential to prevent root rot.Fertilizer
Koeleria macrantha does not require frequent fertilization. If needed, a balanced fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing season.Repotting
Repotting is generally not necessary for Koeleria macrantha as it is typically grown outdoors. However, if grown in containers, repotting can be done in the spring when the plant shows signs of outgrowing its pot.Propagation
Propagation of Koeleria macrantha can be done through seed or division. Seeds can be sown in the spring, while division is best done in early spring or fall.Pruning
Pruning is not required for Koeleria macrantha. However, dead or damaged foliage can be removed to maintain the plant's appearance.Toxicity
Koeleria macrantha is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in gardens where pets and children are present.REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR PLANT CARE
