    • Mowing: Maintain a height of 1.5-4 cm, with less frequent mowing due to its slow growth.
    • Fungicides/Insecticides: Apply preventive treatments in spring or when conditions favor pests or diseases.
    • Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced nitrogen-potassium fertilizer every 8-10 weeks during the growing season.
    • Winter care: Reduce watering and minimize foot traffic to protect the turf during dormancy.
