Melica argyrea prefers consistently moist soil but dislikes waterlogging. Water thoroughly when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry. Reduce watering during winter months when growth slows.

Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot, especially in containers.

Prune Melica argyrea in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Cut back dead or faded foliage to about 10-15 cm above the ground. This encourages vigorous new growth and maintains a tidy appearance.

Propagate Melica argyrea by division in early spring. Carefully dig up established clumps and separate them into smaller sections, ensuring each piece has roots and shoots. Replant immediately in well-draining soil.

Repot Melica argyrea every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a pot that is slightly larger than the current one with fresh, well-draining potting mix.

Repotting is best done in early spring before active growth begins.
