Trachypogon ChevalieriTrachypogon chevalieri

Trachypogon chevalieri prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate short periods of drought once established. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry.

Avoid waterlogged conditions, which can lead to root rot. Reduce watering frequency during cooler months or periods of dormancy.

Minimal pruning is required for Trachypogon chevalieri. In late winter or early spring, before new growth emerges, cut back the old, dried foliage to about 10-15 cm above the ground.

This tidies the plant and encourages vigorous new shoots. Remove any dead or damaged leaves throughout the growing season.

Trachypogon chevalieri is typically propagated by division or from seed. Divisions can be made in spring as new growth begins. Seeds can be sown in trays in spring or autumn.

Ensure seeds have adequate moisture and warmth for germination. Transplant seedlings or divisions once they are large enough to handle.

Repotting is generally not a concern for Trachypogon chevalieri as it is a perennial grass typically grown in the ground or in very large containers.

If grown in a pot and it becomes root-bound, repot in spring into a slightly larger container with fresh, well-draining potting mix. Ensure adequate drainage holes.
