Water this plant every couple of weeks through its first dry season. 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. Going forward it won't need supplemental irrigation, though it will look more lush if given water every two to four weeks during dry weather once established. In a pot slowly water the entire surface until water comes out of the bottom of your pot.

Notas de cultivo

Cutting down the grass during winter will keep it looking fresh, though the older leaves tend to age handsomely and this is generally not necessary.

Interés especial

Very well adapted to fire, and will burn to the ground and then regrow afterward.
