What Schismus arabicus is
Schismus arabicus is a low-growing grass that thrives in desert conditions. It forms a dense groundcover that stays close to the soil surface. You will notice its ability to tolerate harsh heat while remaining modest in size.
Living with this grass means providing it with high light and minimal moisture. It behaves as a resilient companion if you replicate its arid origins. You can propagate it easily from seed when you want to expand your collection.
