Water Chloris X thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. Allow excess water to drain away completely.

Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or when the plant is dormant to prevent waterlogged conditions.

Prune Chloris X to maintain its desired shape and size, or to remove any dead, damaged, or crossing stems. Light pruning can be done anytime.

For more significant shaping, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Use clean, sharp pruning shears for precise cuts.

Chloris X can be propagated by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Select healthy, non-flowering shoots and cut them into 5-10 cm lengths.

Remove lower leaves and insert the cuttings into moist, well-draining potting mix. Rooting typically occurs within a few weeks in a warm, humid environment.

Repot Chloris X every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is one size larger than the current one, with drainage holes. A well-draining potting mix suitable for ornamental grasses is recommended.

Repot in spring, just before the start of the active growing season.
