Care Guide

💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun

Woolgrass flourishes when it is fully exposed to sunlight, as this is fundamental to its well-being and growth. That said, it is able to survive with moderate light exposure without significant negative impact. While it is adaptable, inadequate sunlight exposure can hinder its growth and vitality, and an overabundance of light can be destructive.

Ideal: Full sun
🌡️ Temperature 10–35°C

Woolgrass thrives well within a wide temperature spectrum, specifically in conditions that range from 50 to 95 °F (10 to 35 ℃). It efficiently acclimatizes to its ideal temperature throughout the various seasons.

Ideal temperature: 10–35°C
