How to keep Koeleria Lobata.
Light
Prairie wedgescale prospers in places with limited sunlight, doing well without strong light. In its native habitat it grows beneath thick canopies, sheltered from intense sun rays. Excessive light can inhibit its growth, while a shortage of sun does not adversely affect its development.
Temperature
Prairie wedgescale is a native species that does well in temperate climates and prefers an ideal temperature range of 68 to 95 °F (20 to 35 °C). To ensure optimal growth across seasons, temperature adjustments may be required to mimic its native environment.
Fertilizer
Prairie wedgescale needs extra nutrients to encourage healthy new growth. In spring, spreading compost around the base of the plant can effectively supply the nutrition it requires. Fertilizing supports vigorous growth and helps the plant withstand diseases and pests.
