Locate this plant in a partially shady place, where it can take in the solar rays during the coolest hours of the day. To prevent damage caused by the cold temperatures, during the months with definately harsh minimum temperatures, we can protect the shrubs by covering the soil around the stem with straw or dry leaves.We advise cultivating the The Pleioblastus pygmaeus outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures.
