During this period water your Grasslike Sedge regularly and make sure the soil stays moist but not soggy. Watering every 5-7 days is usually enough during this period. It is best to water thoroughly in the morning so that the foliage has time to dry out during the day. In the winter months when the plant is dormant, reduce watering and water the Grasslike Sedge every 3 - 4 weeks. Doing so will help it also go into dormancy more quickly.

During the warmer months in spring, summer, and early autumn, 6 to 8 hours of direct sun will benefit this species. During cooler seasonal timeframes such as late autumn and early winter, 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight will allow for successful growth. In areas with more extreme seasonal temperatures, it is best to reduce the amount of light it receives to the low end of the spectrum 4 to 6 hours.
