When grown outdoors it needs only minimal watering, and larger specimens usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be trimmed after they have finished blooming. Slender hair grass is appropriate for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive care experience.
