Water: A young muhlenbergia huegelii requires frequent watering for active growth. Once established, it's drought-tolerant, needing water primarily during severe dry spells. Water only when the top soil dries out, as it does not thrive in waterlogged conditions.

Fertilize: To enhance the growth of muhlenbergia huegelii, apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid to late summer, especially in poor soil or if previous blooms were lacking. Dilute a balanced fertilizer by half before application for optimal results.

Pruning: Prune muhlenbergia huegelii in early spring by cutting old foliage to ground level for new growth and tidiness. Regularly remove dead stems for health and control size and shape, promoting robust flowering. Refer to reputable horticultural sources for tailored best practices.
