Water: Cymbopogon pospischilii thrives in humid conditions and requires consistent moisture. Water thoroughly when the top 2.5 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry, and mist daily or every other day. Water in the morning or late afternoon, avoiding overwatering, especially in winter, then resume regular watering in spring.

Fertilize: Cymbopogon pospischilii thrives on nitrogen for optimal growth. Feed with a slow-release nitrogen-rich or balanced fertilizer (e.g., 15-15-15) weekly during the growing season. For those growing cymbopogon pospischilii for food, organic fertilizers are a safe and effective choice.
