Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in autumn and winter, especially if grown in cooler conditions, to prevent root rot.

Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogged roots.

Prune back dead or damaged foliage in early spring before new growth emerges. To maintain a tidy appearance and encourage bushier growth, light trimming can be done after flowering.

Remove spent flower stalks to prevent self-seeding if unwanted.

Propagate Natal Grass by division of established clumps in spring. Seeds can also be sown in spring. Germination is usually straightforward under warm conditions.

Division is the most common and reliable method for home gardeners.

Repot young plants annually or biennially in spring to refresh the soil and provide more space for root growth.

Mature plants can remain in their pots for several years but may benefit from top-dressing with fresh compost. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
