Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Sewan-grass is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous species that originates from open habitats, commonly growing in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
🌡️ Temperature 20–37.8°C
Sewan-grass comes from tropical areas, where the climate is usually warm and humid. Therefore, it is well suited to high temperatures and moisture. It is sensitive to abrupt temperature changes and prefers a steady thermal environment, so indoor temperature fluctuations should be avoided. It generally does not tolerate cold and requires warm conditions for growth. If the surrounding temperature falls too low, the plant may stop growing or even die.

🌱 Fertilizer
Sewan-grass needs extra nutrients to encourage healthy new growth. In spring, applying compost around the base of the plant is an effective way to supply the nutrition it requires. Fertilizing supports vigorous growth and helps the plant resist diseases and pests.
