Cupgrasses typically prefers well-drained, moisture-retentive soil and full exposure to sun but can tolerate partial shade. To plant, loosen soil in the planting site, approximately twice the size of the plant's root ball, then place cupgrasses ensuring the top of the root ball is level with soil. Following planting, water well, and continue to provide consistent moisture. Despite general guidelines, understanding the specific needs of the chosen species from cupgrasses genus is paramount for successful growth.
