How to grow King Bamboo Grass in the North

1. Soil: King grass is not very demanding on soil and can be planted on beach, coarse sand, clay, and red soil. However, if you want the plant to grow better, it is best to provide it with clay loam rich in organic matter.

2. Light: King bamboo grass likes to bask in the sun. It needs to be given sufficient scattered light during maintenance, but it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, otherwise it will not only fail to promote the growth of the plant, but may also sunburn the plant.

3. Water: Before planting, the roots of the king grass should be watered sufficiently and the soil should be kept moist at all times. It should be watered every 2-3 days on sunny days, and generally no watering is required on rainy days. The water should also be drained in time to avoid water accumulation.
