Water Chloris bournei moderately when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months.

Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Pruning Chloris bournei is generally not required. If dead or damaged foliage appears, remove it at the base using clean secateurs. This helps maintain the plant's appearance and prevents disease.

Chloris bournei can be propagated by division of established clumps in spring. Carefully separate the rhizomes, ensuring each section has roots and shoots. Replant immediately in well-draining soil.

Repot Chloris bournei every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its current container. Use a well-draining potting mix. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one to avoid overwatering issues.
