Water:
Turtlegrass thrives in consistent moisture, reflecting its native underwater habitat. It requires weekly watering and is adapted to submerged conditions, enhancing its ability to photosynthesize efficiently. This aquatic plant flourishes outdoors by maintaining the stability of water availability.
Propagation:
Propagation of turtlegrass occurs through rhizome division or seed sowing in clear, salty, subtidal environments. Key steps include selecting a donor plant, carefully separating rhizomes, replanting in sediment, stabilizing against currents, and monitoring for herbivores. This process requires stable marine conditions due to slow growth.
