Water: Originating from grasslands, oatgrass thrives with balanced sun and intermittent rain, requiring moderate moisture. To maintain vigor, water oatgrass weekly. Its flexible stems enhance wind resilience and water storage, reducing dependence on rainfall.

Propagation: Propagation of oatgrass is primarily through seeds, with division as a secondary method. Success hinges on sunlight, moderate temperatures, and well-draining soil. Seed stratification may be required in cooler climates. For seed propagation, collect mature seeds, stratify if needed, sow in suitable soil, maintain moisture, and thin seedlings post-germination.
