This low rainfall requirement means that this grass can survive in drier places. Rhodes grass can grow in a variety of soil conditions. [4] Its ideal soil would be anything greater than a 4.3 pH level in terms of acidity. [5]: 2 In addition to this, Chloris gayana has a moderate aluminum tolerance.
The grass spreads primarily via its rhizome. It has been noted to grow 1.3 cm (0.51 in) in length per day. The stems and rhizomes also produce tillers. The rhizome can endure drying and flooding. Dry or wet conditions may reduce the number of shoots produced by the rhizome, but they do not kill it.
