How to repot Turf Grass
In this article and the steps below, you’ll learn how to repot your Turf Grass, just like you would repot your Switchgrass as it is in the same family. Follow along as you do it or make notes if necessary.
First, get your Turf Grass loose in the pot
Once you have decided on repotting, do you research. Without research, the repotting process may not be as effective as you think and you can use this as an opportunity to maximise the health and growth of your Turf Grass by checking the soil ph (Acidic, neutral) and timing the repot just before the bloom time of the plant too. The bloom time of Turf Grass is: nan. Once you are sure when to repot, water your soil in preparation for extraction.
Second, prepare the new pot for your Turf Grass
Patience is key when extracting your Turf Grass from the pot. Depending on the age of the Turf Grass, it may have complex root systems. Take care and maybe turn it upside down to ease it out.
Third, select the soil optimally when preparing Turf Grass for repotting
So you have prepared your new pot and also removed Turf Grass from the old pot. The final step is simple, fill in any gaps with Well-drained soil and allow your Turf Grass to flourish.

Managing the growth and care of Turf Grass following repotting
Repotting is most of the time going to help your Turf Grass grow, especially if you are moving it to a more suitably sized pot with some better fitting soil. However, once repotted, you should grow the plant in the right hardiness zone of 5-10 (USDA) and in a similar climate to where the plant would have usually been growing (Korea).
This is vital to maximise the chance it will reach its mature size of 4-6 in. tall. Also, a final factor in ensuring that Turf Grass reaches this height and the full mature size that it can is to ensure the exposure from the sun is correct. Aim for it to get Full exposure.
Should you grow your repotted Turf Grass in your house or outside?
Deciding on keeping a plant outside can be a risky option if you’re not sure how well your Turf Grass will hold up in the change of climate. However, the good news is, now you have repotted it, it can always be brought back inside if you notice sub-optimal plant growth.
Take a look at the hardiness zone (5-10 (USDA)) and the plant’s original native area (Korea). Then compare it to whether you think your local environment will suit your Turf Grass or if you’re putting it at risk by keeping it outdoors.
How will you know you have successfully repot Turf Grass?
To see your Turf Grass reaching its full size of 4-6 in. tall requires your attention and care. Imagine it is a while after repotting and you have taken care of the plant in the right way. You’ll have the joy of seeing it burst into nan blooms precisely during nan time. This is achieved by taking care of your plant like you would any other similar plant like a Tall Fescue Grass. Using the right care and being patient after you repot is key.
