HOW TO GROW NILGIRI LAWN GRASS Location Choose a location for planting grass seeds that receives plenty of sunlight. Most grass species need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day to grow properly. If your area is prone to high winds, choose a location that is protected from the wind. Also, ensure that the soil in the planting area is well-draining and has a pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Temperature The ideal temperature for grass seed germination varies depending on the species. Warm-season grass seeds, such as Bermuda grass seeds,germinate best when soil temperatures are between 20-30°C, while cool-season grass seeds, such as Rye grass seeds, germinate best when soil temperatures are between 10-20°C. It's important to note that soil temperatures can be different from air temperatures, so use a soil thermometer to measure the temperature of the soil. Watering Grass seeds need consistent moisture to germinate and establish. Water the planting area lightly immediately after planting to ensure the soil is moist. Then, water the area regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. A general guideline is to water deeply once or twice per week, depending on weather conditions. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to fungal growth and other problems.
