watering

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Punktchen') prefers to grow in moist but well-drained soil and needs plenty of water. Water Eulalia deeply and evenly at least once a week in the growing season and during excessively hot and dry periods. Allow the top few inches of soil to dry out before watering again. In the winter months, reduce watering and only water when the top few inches of soil is dry. In areas with low rainfall and/or high temperatures, more frequent watering may be required. Avoid over-watering, as this can lead to root rot. It is best to water in the morning or evening. Morning watering will help reduce any leaf scorching due to the hot sun, and evening watering will help reduce any stress on the plant due to excessive heat during the day.

sunlight

Miscanthus sinensis 'Punktchen' plants require full sun to partial shade to grow and thrive. A minimum of 6 hours of direct sunlight per day is recommended; however, these plants can tolerate up to 8-10 hours of direct sunlight per day. This species of grass prefers the direct sunlight of the morning hours, including early afternoon hours for optimal health. In areas with higher temperatures, shade may be needed in the late afternoon hours to avoid sunburn.

pruning

For the Eulalia plant species (Miscanthus sinensis 'Punktchen'), pruning is best done in late winter or early spring. The plant should be cut back to just above the ground and any dead or damaged growth should be removed entirely. Pruning helps the plant look neat and encourages better growth for the upcoming season. It is recommended to prune the Eulalia plant species once every year or so, but if the plant gets too large or out of control, pruning more often is acceptable.
