The tricholaena genus comprises grass species that typically require full sun exposure and well-draining soil. For optimal growth, tricholaena should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions and ensuring consistent moisture without waterlogging. Temperature tolerance varies, with most species preferring moderate to warm climates, while being less tolerant of extreme cold. Tricholaena plants are susceptible to common grass pests and diseases, with fungi and insects being prevalent issues. Seasonally, tricholaena may demand more water during hot summers and should be protected or adequately insulated during cold winters. Regular monitoring is essential to detect any signs of distress, particularly changes in weather.
