Tragus racemosus, commonly known as the small burr grass, is an annual grass in the family Poaceae. It is native to temperate regions and is often found in disturbed areas such as roadsides and fields. The plant is characterized by its small, spiky seed heads that can attach to clothing and animal fur.
Tragus racemosus is a hardy plant that thrives in temperate climates. It prefers full sun and can tolerate dry conditions. Watering should be minimal, allowing the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. The plant does well in moderate temperatures and average humidity levels.
土壤
This plant prefers sandy soil with good drainage. It can tolerate nutrient-poor conditions and does not require rich soil to thrive. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent waterlogging.
肥料
Tragus racemosus does not require fertilization. It is adapted to grow in nutrient-poor soils and can thrive without additional nutrients.
换盆
As an annual plant, Tragus racemosus does not require repotting. It completes its life cycle within a single growing season and does not need to be moved to a new pot.
传播
Tragus racemosus can be propagated by seed. Sow the seeds directly in the soil in early spring after the last frost. Ensure the seeds are lightly covered with soil and keep the area moist until germination.
修剪
Pruning is not necessary for Tragus racemosus. The plant will naturally complete its life cycle and die back at the end of the growing season.
毒性
Tragus racemosus is not known to be toxic to pets or humans. However, the spiky seed heads can be a nuisance as they can attach to clothing and animal fur.
