Philippine carpet grass is finer compare to cow grass or pearl grass. They are quite  hardy as well once they take root. If you don’t water them regularly, roots can go deep and over time, you won’t need to water them at all even in hot weather but they will have a lighter green. However, if you water them, they tend to have a darker shade of green which some people prefer. This type of grass likes full sunlight the entire day. Under shade, they tend to grow taller and bushy. The grass is quite aggressive and can compete with other types of grass therefore you only need some weeding. Philippine carpet grass need regular mowing about once every 2 weeks. If you allow too much time between mowing, the grass will become tall and if you cut the grass too short, you will leave brown patches. Once they have grown too tall, the only way to make them short again is trim your lawn over several trimmings. So instead of say once every 2 weeks, you have to trim say once a week and at each trimming, you don’t cut too much. Philippine carpet grass is quite popular and requires only regular mowing. They look very nice for your garden too.
