Water

Water: Phalaris prefers consistently moist environments, requiring weekly watering to match its natural hydration needs. It thrives in evenly moist soil and is sensitive to drought. This resilient plant is suited for outdoor settings and needs adequate moisture during growth cycles for optimal health.

Propagation: Phalaris can be propagated through seed sowing, division, and cuttings. Optimal conditions include adequate light, temperature (15-20°C / 59-68°F), and well-draining soil. Manage its growth to prevent invasiveness. For seeds, surface-sow and keep soil moist until germination; thin and transplant seedlings as needed.
