Water this plant regularly, when the top inch or so of soil feels dry. If you establish this pattern over several years, then you can cut back to watering every week or two in dry weather. Use drippers, emitters, or a slow stream of water so that it doesn't run off; allow the water to trickle all the way down through the deepest layers of soil. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot. | |

Notas de cultivo
Being evergreen, this grassy plant doesn't need the annual hard pruning of many grasses. It'll look just fine year round with little work. After many years, when the plants older leaves are being smothered by new ones, a hard pruning in late spring will refresh the clump or you can rake out the older dead leaves.
Maintain the size of lomandra by pulling up the leaves as you would a pony-tail and then cutting them at the desired length. This has little aesthetic effect on the plant, as the leaf tips naturally present with ragged tips.
After blooming, selectively pruning out old flower stalks keeps the clump looking tidy.
Spills handsomely out of pottery, over walls, or down vertical gardens. More upright and bushy in sun, lower, wider and flatter in shade.
Interés especial
Lomandra is used traditionally by the Aboriginal people of Australia to make nets and mats, thus leading to the common name mat rush.
