Water: Hordelymus prefers evenly moist soil and thrives in consistent moisture, requiring weekly watering to maintain optimal health. While it tolerates moderate drought, supplemental watering is essential during dry spells, especially if grown outdoors, to align with its natural growing season needs.

Propagation: Primary propagation of hordelymus is achieved through seed sowing and division. Successful germination requires adequate light, consistent moisture, and well-draining soil at suitable temperatures. Propagation is moderate in difficulty, involving stratification for diverse climates, and immediate replanting of divided sections in spring or fall.
