Anemanthele lessoniana prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate brief dry spells once established. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Avoid waterlogging, especially in cooler months, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering in winter.

Prune Anemanthele lessoniana in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Cut back the old, dead foliage to about 5-10 cm above the ground.

This encourages vigorous new growth and maintains the plant's tidy appearance. Remove any winter damage as needed.

Anemanthele lessoniana is easily propagated by division in early spring. Carefully lift the clump and divide it into smaller sections, ensuring each section has roots and shoots.

Alternatively, sow fresh seeds in autumn or spring, though division is more common for established plants.

Repotting is rarely necessary for Anemanthele lessoniana, as it is a perennial grass. If growing in a container, repot only when the plant becomes pot-bound, typically every 2-3 years.

Repot in early spring into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix.
