mondo grass

Mondo grass should be watered deeply every 7 to 10 days, depending on the temperature and humidity levels. The soil should be moist, but not soggy. To ensure proper watering, soak the soil thoroughly to a depth of 6 inches. In hot summer months, the plant may need to be watered more frequently. If it receives too much or too little water, the foliage will begin to yellow and die. Mulch can also be used to conserve moisture and help maintain an ideal soil temperature.

Mondo grass (Ophiopogon japonicus 'Gyoku-ryu') prefers bright, indirect sunlight. When grown outdoors, this plant should receive 4 to 6 hours of daily sunlight per day, preferably in the morning or early afternoon. If planted indoors, place this species near a window or other source of light, but be sure to filter the light during the hottest part of the day as too much direct sunlight can burn the foliage.

Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon japonicus 'Gyoku-ryu') should be pruned once a year in late spring or early summer. Pruning is best done with sharp garden shears, taking off no more than 1/3 of the total plant height. When pruning, it is important to make clean cuts, avoiding leaving jagged or torn edges. This will help promote healthy growth and allow for more even pruning results. After pruning, it is also important to remove any dried and dead foliage as these can attract pests and diseases. Mondo grass will benefit from regular fertilizing during the growing season, as well as a light trimming to maintain a neat and tidy appearance.
