Bird-bill Spikegrass prefers consistently moist soil, especially during its active growth period. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant.

Prune Bird-bill Spikegrass in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Cut back the old foliage to about 5-10 cm above the ground to encourage vigorous new shoots.

Remove any dead or damaged stems throughout the growing season to maintain a tidy appearance.

Propagation is primarily done through division of established clumps in early spring or autumn. Carefully separate the rhizomatous root system into smaller sections, each with healthy roots and at least one growth point.

Replant immediately into well-draining soil.

Repotting is rarely necessary for this grass as it is typically grown in the ground. If grown in a container, it may benefit from repotting every 2-3 years into a slightly larger pot with fresh potting mix.

This helps to replenish nutrients and prevent root circling.
