My mondo grass is in pots. This is the second season and now the leaves are turning yellow? Am I over watering? Will Mondo grass tolerate very wet soil and occasionally being under water? I am looking for something to plant near a tidal river. Thank you! Hi,I am living in a tropical region.. I want to use Mondo grass as a border around my paved patio. But, it does snow occasionally and does get below freezing.
If mondo grass is not applicable might you have some suggestions. What are your thoughts? What kind of fertilizer can I use and how often? Hi Dominic, that should work well. Fertilizing isnt really needed, but you can use a slow release fertilizer during the spring and summer — probably apply once each in these seasons. Hi Brendan, Im not sure sorry. Best way to check would be to test on a small out of the way section of the mondo grass first and see what happens. We use Mondo grass for the turf of our Memorial Garden here at our retirement community.
The ashes that are scattered have evidently have raised the pH to about 7. I understand the best pH for Mondo grass is 5. Should we apply some material to lower the pH?
If so what would you suggest? Thanks so much! You could either go the long way — by adding some compost or an acidic mulch. Or if you want do it it faster then you can add some aluminum sulfate available on Amazon here.
Never seen this before. It is prone to other grasses growing through it — so it is probably just that. Look at some liriope images to see what is going to happen! Hi Janet, have you tried Amazon? Yes it can be grown in a container — in fact it loves it! It is just July 15th Reply. Thanks Dominic Reply.

Snails and slugs love coming out after it rains, so be on the watch for these pests after showers and heavy rains. After a rainy spell, go through your mondo grass and separate the leaves looking for slugs and snails. Remove any visible slugs and snails before leaving the bait around the base of the plant. The toxin in the bait is only active with repeat feeding sessions.
However, as soon as the snails touch the bait, they stop feeding on your grass. Place the granules of bait around 3-inches apart, and keep checking back over the next couple of days for signs of snails and slugs.
