Care Guide

💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun

Shore grass is a sun-loving perennial herbaceous plant that originates in open habitats and frequently prospers in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

Ideal: Full sun
🌡️ Temperature 15–35°C

Shore grass adapts well to temperature, with the ability to endure higher heat and wide temperature fluctuations. In hot weather, attention should be paid to watering and providing suitable shade to prevent sunburn. However, shore grass is fairly sensitive to low temperatures; it can tolerate some cold, but excessively low temperatures may cause frost damage.

Ideal temperature: 15–35°C

🌱 Fertilizer

Shore grass needs extra nutrients to encourage healthy new growth. In spring, adding compost around the plant's base can effectively supply the nutrients it needs. Fertilizing helps support vigorous growth and improves the plant's resistance to diseases and pests.
