Tussock paspalum prefers consistent moisture but can tolerate short dry spells once established. Water deeply when the top few centimeters of soil feel dry. Avoid waterlogging, as this can lead to root rot.

Reduce watering during cooler months or periods of dormancy.

Pruning is generally not required for aesthetic purposes, as it naturally forms dense tussocks. However, remove any dead or damaged foliage at any time to maintain a tidy appearance.

Cut back the entire plant to a few centimeters above the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.

Tussock paspalum is primarily propagated by division. In spring, dig up established clumps and carefully divide them into smaller sections, each with roots and shoots.

Replant divisions immediately into well-drained soil. Sow seeds in spring or autumn in a prepared seedbed.

Repotting is typically only necessary for container-grown specimens or when dividing large clumps for propagation.

If a plant becomes root-bound in a pot, choose a slightly larger container and fresh, well-draining potting mix. Division often involves repotting into the ground.
