Water: Moor grass thrives in moist environments, preferring consistent hydration while tolerating brief dryness. It benefits from watering twice a week to support its growth. As an herbaceous perennial, water availability significantly impacts its seasonal development, making effective rainfall management essential.

Propagation: Moor grass can be propagated via seed sowing, division, or cuttings. Key factors include adequate light (partial to full sun), suitable temperature, and well-draining soil. Division is preferred in spring or autumn; ensure consistent soil moisture during establishment.
