Light
Sharp-leaved grass comes from bright, open habitats and does best in full sun. It can tolerate partial sun but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This plant, which may be annual or biennial, is known for its sun-loving character.
Temperature
The native habitat of sharp-leaved grass appears to have shaped its preferred temperature range, ideally between 68 and 95 °F (20 and 35 °C). To maintain healthy growth through the seasons, adjustments may be needed in other environments to replicate those conditions.
