FAQs
Briza media is generally considered an easy-to-care-for plant and makes a great choice for beginners!
Water Needs
Briza media prefers for the soil to dry out between waterings and should be watered regularly. Use our water calculator to personalize watering recommendations to your environment or download Greg for more advanced recommendations for all of your plants.
Sunlight Needs
Briza media requires abundant, bright and direct light. Place it less than one foot from a window to ensure it receives enough light to survive đȘ. Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement in your home đĄ.
Soil
Briza media does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
Fertilizer
Briza media should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as itâs refreshed yearly, you shouldnât need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
Growth Pattern
Briza media is a clumping plant, meaning new growth will emerge from the soil around the parent plant.
