About Crab Grass
Bermuda grass is a mat-forming, medium- to fine-textured grass suitable for lawns and public areas. It grows best in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun and warm temperatures. The plant is widely used on athletic fields and golf courses due to its tolerance for heavy traffic and rapid recovery time.

How to fertilize Crab Grass

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Crab Grass after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.
