watering
Densetuft Hairsedge (Bulbostylis capillaris) prefers moist soil, so it should be watered regularly. Generally, water this plant species 2-3 times a week during the growing season, and about once a week during the winter. To ensure that your soil is not too wet, check it with your finger; if the soil is dry up to 1 inch below the surface, it’s time to water. Make sure you water deeply to encourage deep rooting of the plant. In the hottest months of summer, you may want to increase watering frequency to every few days, or even daily for plants located in full sun. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, as this plant does not like wet feet.
sunlight
Densetuft Hairsedge (Bulbostylis capillaris) needs full sunlight to thrive. Although not overly demanding, this species should be provided with 8-10 hours of direct sunlight each day. If grown indoors, you should ensure the plant receives as much natural sunlight as possible. If kept outdoors, it is best to plant it in a full sun location to ensure it receives the full magnitude of light it needs. To ensure the plant is not over-exposed, it is important to note that hot, mid-day sun can be damaging and should be avoided.
pruning
Densetuft Hairsedge (Bulbostylis capillaris) should be pruned regularly throughout the growing season to keep it looking its best. It should be lightly pruned in mid-spring (April or May) and then again in early fall (September). Pruning should involve removing dead or diseased foliage, as well as removing any stems that grow too long or too wide for the desired look. To avoid damaging or killing the plant, take care not to prune any living foliage or prune too heavily. If necessary, remove any weeds from around the base of the plant in early spring or late summer.
