Carpet Grass Care Guide
Carpet grass thrives in full sun, requiring at least 5-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. It needs deep watering once or twice a week, but shallow watering should be avoided to encourage strong root development. The grass prefers sandy, well-draining soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 6.5. To support healthy growth, it should be fed monthly with a balanced fertilizer. For optimal appearance, mow the grass to a height of around 2 inches every 10–14 days, or whenever it exceeds 2.5 inches. Regularly remove weeds and thatch to improve air circulation and prevent disease. Additionally, periodic aeration is recommended, and heavy foot traffic should be minimized to maintain the health of the grass.
