watering
Hairy Wood Brome generally needs about 1-1.5 inches of water per week. To ensure your hairy wood brome is adequately watered, water your plant deeply and infrequently. Make sure to water the plant in the morning so any excess water can evaporate before nightfall. Additionally, you should check soil moisture levels before watering to make sure the plant actually needs water. If the top inch of soil is still moist, there is no need to water the plant. In the summer months, you may need to provide more water for your Hairy Wood Brome due to increased temperatures and evaporation levels.
sunlight
Hairy Wood Brome (Bromus pubescens) is a warm season grass that thrives on full sun. It can tolerate some light shade, but best results occur in sunny conditions. In the summer months it will thrive when it receives 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day in order to produce good yields. During the winter months, it can occasionally benefit from a few hours of indirect sunlight. This plant species is tolerant of both warm and cool temperatures and should be protected from direct frost.
pruning
Hairy Wood Brome (Bromus pubescens) should be lightly pruned in late winter to early spring. Pruning should be done to remove any dead, broken, or damaged branches. To maintain the desired size and shape, pruning can also be done to reduce the size of the plant by removing some of the oldest stems. Pruning should be done sparingly, since too much pruning can cause undue stress on the plant. For plants that have been recently planted, no pruning should be done for at least the first year.
