Water Finger Grass regularly, especially during establishment and active growth. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Reduce watering in cooler months to prevent waterlogging and root rot, ensuring good drainage is paramount.

Pruning is generally not required for Chloris barbata as it is a relatively low-maintenance grass. If desired for tidiness or to manage spread, cut back spent flower stalks or foliage in late autumn or early spring before new growth emerges.

Finger Grass propagates easily by seed, which is often dispersed by wind or water. It can also be propagated vegetatively by division of established clumps, typically done in spring or early autumn.

Repotting is not typically applicable to Finger Grass as it is generally grown as a groundcover or in larger landscape settings rather than in containers. If grown in a container for specific purposes, repot when root-bound, usually every 2-3 years.
