watering

Eulalia should be watered regularly, but not excessively. Water the soil until it is moderately moist but not soggy. It is best to water the plant in the morning so that the foliage can dry before nightfall, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. In the warmer months, they should be watered more frequently, once every other day or so. During winter, water it about once a week, or whenever the top of the soil is dry to the touch.

sunlight

Miscanthus sinensis 'Silberspinne' SILVER SPIDER, also known as Eulalia, should be given the amount of sun recommended for its species: full sun for at least 6 to 8 hours a day. It enjoys morning sunlight, but not direct afternoon sun. Eulalia can benefit from some light shade during the hottest months of summer, especially when grown in very hot climates.

pruning

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Silberspinne' SILVER SPIDER) should be pruned back to the ground in late autumn or early winter. Pruning should be done to promote healthy, strong growth in the spring. If the clump of eulalia has become too large, divide it in late spring when new foliage is present. Cut the roots apart with a sharp knife, down to within 2-3 inches of the crown. Replant the divisions and water well. Pruning of ornamental grasses also makes the plants less dense, which allows better airflow and helps to reduce disease and fungal issues. For eulalia, it is recommended to prune back to around 5-6 inches in late spring or early summer after flowering to ensure the plant remains healthy and vigorous.
