Maintaining Kurapia Plugs Before Planting

If you’re not able to plant your Kurapia plugs right away, keeping them healthy is a simple process. With a little care, you can ensure they remain strong until you’re ready to install them.

 1. Keep Them Consistently Moist

Water the plugs once a day in the morning, making sure each plug is fully soaked. Kurapia declines quickly if it dries out, so consistent moisture is the most important step.

2. Provide Sunlight—but Avoid Excess Heat

Kurapia plugs need sunlight to stay vigorous. Without sun, they will lighten in color and start stretching upward. Place trays in a spot with 3–5 hours of morning or early afternoon sun (north or east exposure is ideal). Avoid placing them against hot surfaces like asphalt, concrete, or west/south exposures where the heat can be too intense.

3. Trim as Needed

If the plugs grow taller than about 1.5 inches, trim them back to around 1 inch. A simple pair of scissors, florist shears, or grass shears works well. Trimming keeps the plugs compact and healthy while you wait to plant.

In short: Think of your plugs as an investment—keep them moist, give them the right amount of sun, and trim them as needed. With these steps, your Kurapia drought tolerant groundcover and lawn alternative will stay in top condition until it’s time to plant and thrive in the ground.
