Water:
Bhabhar originates from subtropical regions and prefers consistent moisture, requiring weekly watering. It tolerates short dryness but thrives in well-draining soil that retains moisture, reflecting its natural habitat's moderate rainfall, typically found in open grasslands.
Fertilize:
To enhance growth of bhabhar, apply a 2-inch layer of mulch or compost in spring, avoiding stem contact to prevent rot. This enriches soil, boosts resilience, and strengthens roots. Established bhabhar typically requires no extra feeding, but monitor nutrient levels for optimal care.
Pruning:
Bhabhar features wiry leaves and benefits from early spring pruning. Remove dead stalks to enhance growth and air circulation. Cutting back older stems promotes new shoots and minimizes disease risk, ensuring robust growth throughout the season when done at the right time.
Propagation:
For successful propagation of bhabhar via sowing, use a well-draining substrate rich in organic matter, and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Space seeds appropriately and lightly cover them with soil to ensure stable germination and protect them from disturbances.
