CARE GUIDE

How to keep Brachypodium Rupestre.

Light

False japanese bromegrass is a sun-loving, perennial herbaceous plant that originates from open habitats and commonly grows in meadows and grasslands. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.

Temperature

False japanese bromegrass can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, though its spread can still be restricted by different mixes of moisture and heat. It grows best in warm summer conditions with enough rainfall or irrigation. Long periods of cloudy, rainy weather, as well as extended high temperatures, can raise the chance of False japanese bromegrass dying. In winter, suitable protection from cold can increase the plant's survival rate.

Fertilizer

False Japanese bromegrass 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.
