How to keep Achnatherum Splendens.
Light
Chee grass strongly prefers unobstructed, intense sunlight all day to achieve optimal growth. Its native habitat is characterized by clear skies and abundant sunlight. Insufficient sun can stunt its development, while excessive exposure can scorch its leaves.
Temperature
Chee grass can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, but its distribution can still be restricted by different combinations of moisture and heat. It does best in warm summer climates with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Extended periods of cloudy, rainy weather or prolonged high temperatures can raise the chances of Chee grass dying. In winter, protecting it from the cold can improve the plant's survival rate.
Fertilizer
Chee grass needs extra nutrients to encourage healthy new growth. In spring, spreading some compost around the plant's base can effectively supply the nutrition it requires. Fertilizing helps support vigorous growth and increases the plant's resistance to diseases and pests.
