Falkia repens is an extravagant plant that makes a beautiful feature during winter. It can be a substitute for grass, requires regular, moderate watering and prefers fertile, humus-rich and well-drained soil. If you have an open area/space that requires filling in fast F.repens is the best groundcover to use especially because it grows very fast and can tolerate most harsh conditions.

Falkia is propagated from rooted runners; divide sections of the plant with its roots. New plantings should be watered daily for a couple of weeks and the spacing between plants should be 300-460mm, as they spread fast. Snip off individual plants or wait until the flowering season is over and remove the whole flower stalk to the base of the plant. This keeps the plant's energy focused on vigorous growth instead of seed production. Cut back hard any time it starts to turn brown. By dividing the plant over time, you encouraging its shape. Dig up and divide plants every 3-4 years to stimulate healthy new growth. Falkia repens grows well in a mixture of loam and peat or any other light soil and thrives in full sun to partly shaded areas.

Falkia repens requires feeding in Spring with organic 2:3:2 or 3:1:5 fertilisers for lush growth. To give the plant an extra boost, add a granulated starter fertiliser or all-purpose feed that encourages blooming e.g. 5:10:5.

Companion plants that work well with F. repens are ornamental grasses, Achillea species and Adenium obesum (desert rose).
