The buffelgrasses genus, known for its resilience, generally requires full sun exposure, well-draining soil, and moderate watering, respecting dry periods between irrigations. Temperature preferences vary among species, but many are tolerant of heat. Common challenges with buffelgrasses include invasive tendencies and vulnerability to pests like aphids and rust. Seasonally, buffelgrasses may need protection from extreme cold, and reduced watering in winter, with an uptick in growth and water needs during spring and summer.
