Taiwan grass is a robust perennial grass characterized by its tall, dense clumps of cane-like stems. It typically thrives in riverbanks and wet habitats, where its extensive root system stabilizes soil and controls erosion. The feathery, plume-like flower panicles emerge in late summer, adding a soft, decorative contrast to the rigid stems. Its hardiness and rapid growth make taiwan grass a dominant presence in the landscapes it occupies.

Water:
Originating from lush environments, taiwan grass prefers consistent hydration and should be watered weekly. It thrives in moist, well-drained soil, suitable for outdoor conditions near wetlands or streams, balancing between not being drought-tolerant and avoiding high humidity.
Pruning:
Taiwan grass is a tall, ornamental grass with a bamboo-like look. Prune in early spring to remove dead stems, promoting healthy growth. Clean tools to prevent disease, as timely pruning encourages a denser plant and enhances visual appeal while controlling height and spread.
Propagation:
Taiwan grass is propagated via root division, which involves separating the root mass into sections with shoots. Wear gloves for protection during handling. Use a sharp spade for division in early growth and replant sections in moist, well-drained soil with adequate spacing.
