• Water the plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions to prevent root rot, as it is drought-tolerant once established.
• Use well-draining soil, such as sandy or loamy soil, to prevent waterlogging and promote healthy root development.
• Mexican Feather Grass is hardy in USDA zones 7-10 and can tolerate a range of temperatures, thriving in both hot and dry conditions.
