Water moderately during the growing season, ensuring the soil is consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Reduce watering significantly in autumn and winter, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Aim for even moisture without excessive pooling.

Cut back all old foliage to about 10-15 cm above the ground in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. This tidies the plant and encourages vigorous new shoots.

Remove any dead or damaged leaves throughout the season.

Propagate by division in early spring. Dig up the clump and carefully divide it into smaller sections, each with healthy roots and shoots. Replant the divisions immediately into well-prepared soil.

Alternatively, seeds can be sown in spring.

Repotting is generally not required for Miscanthus X unless grown in a container. If container-grown, repot every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot with fresh, well-draining potting mix.

Ensure adequate drainage holes.
