Coastal Stiffgrass is resistant to disease and generally not susceptible to illnesses. As for care, this plant is fairly low-maintenance.

How to keep Cutandia Maritima.
Light
Coastal Stiffgrass comes from bright, open habitats and flourishes in full sun. It can tolerate partial sun but favors direct sunlight for optimal growth. This annual or biennial plant is recognized for its sun-loving nature.
Temperature
Coastal Stiffgrass can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, though its presence may still be restricted by particular combinations of moisture and heat. It performs best in warm summer conditions with sufficient rainfall or irrigation. Long periods of cloudy, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures increase the risk of Coastal Stiffgrass dying. In winter, adequate protection from cold can boost the plant’s survival chances.
