Zoysia is a genus of creeping, warm-season grasses native to Southeast Asia. The Basic Care Needs of zoysia include full sun to partial shade, regular watering but proper drainage, and a preference for soil pH between 6.0 and 7.0. Common Challenges for zoysia usually encompass pests like billbugs and diseases such as dollar spot, along with vulnerability to cold stress. Seasonal Considerations include spring dethatching, summer mowing, and autumn fertilization; in winter, zoysia goes dormant and requires minimal care.
