watering
Corn Brome should be kept moderately moist. Water every 2 to 3 weeks during the growing season. Avoid over-watering, as Corn Brome has shallow roots and can quickly become water-logged. During the fall and winter months, allow the soil to dry out between waterings. During periods of extreme heat, Corn Brome may need to be watered more frequently.
sunlight
Corn brome, also known as Bromus squarrosus, grows best in full sunlight. The species requires 6 - 8 hours of direct sunlight per day; however, less sunlight will still be beneficial, as long as the plant receives enough indirect sunlight to avoid shade. Due to its erect and tall growth habit, corn brome may be more tolerant of sun than other species. It is generally considered an ideal species for sunny locations.
pruning
When pruning Corn Brome (Bromus squarrosus), the best time is during the winter months. Pruning should be done before the end of March in order to prevent the plant from becoming overgrown and enabling better air circulation around the plant. Prune only when necessary and remove dead or damaged areas when found.
