Care for Acorus gramineus Ogon

Acorus gramineus Ogon is an elegant ornamental grass with narrow, gold-yellow striped leaves. It brings a bright, airy character to interiors and perfectly complements both modern and natural styles. Ogon is a low-maintenance plant suitable even for less experienced growers.

💧 Watering Keep the substrate evenly moist – water when the top layer (approx. 1–2 cm) is dry. It does not tolerate complete drying out or waterlogging. Caution: Use room temperature, standing water.

☀️ Light Prefers a bright location without direct midday sun. It can tolerate partial shade, but in insufficient light, it loses the intensity of its golden leaf coloration.

• Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

• Also suitable for rooms with less natural light.

🌡️ Temperature and Air

• Ideal temperature: 15–22 °C.

• Cold: Does not tolerate temperatures below 10 °C or drafts.

• Humidity: Appreciates higher air humidity. During the heating season, we recommend a humidifier.

🌿 Fertilization During the growing season (spring–summer), fertilize once a month with liquid houseplant fertilizer at half strength. Completely skip fertilization in winter.

🧻 Substrate and Repotting Requires a light, well-draining substrate – a mixture of peat and perlite is ideal. Repot in spring when the roots fill the pot, always only one size larger.

⚠️ Warning Acorus gramineus can be mildly toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
