eulalia

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Yaku Jima') should be watered every 3-4 days when the soil seems dry, but make sure that the root zone does not become saturated with water, as this can lead to root rot. It is best water early in the morning or late in the evening, and try to avoid splashing water on the foliage. Water should be applied slowly until it starts to run off the surface of the soil. During the growing season, provide 1-2 inches of water per week in order to ensure healthy growth. During periods of extreme heat or drought, increase watering to 3-4 times per week.

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Yaku Jima') should receive direct sunlight for around 6 hours each day. To maximize growth, the best time to give it the most sunlight is during the early morning, between 5am and 10am. During the hottest part of the day, usually between noon and 4pm, some shade should be provided. It's important to remember that during any sunny or hot day, even the most sun-loving plants can suffer from too much sun at once, so it's best to avoid full sun for the entire day.

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Yaku Jima') should be pruned twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. In spring, prune 1 third of the shoots after the first flush of activity in early April, when new shoots are emerging from the ground. Remove any dead or damaged shoots. Cut the remaining shoots back to the base of the plant. In late fall, after the second flush of activity, prune the plant back to 12-18 inches tall. This will help the plant keep a nice compact shape throughout the winter months. When pruning, it is important to use clean and sharp pruning scissors or shears to help reduce the spread of disease.
