We have tons of KURAPIA all over Miramar College campus. We edge it and mow it really low, and fertilize it probably every two years. It’s on reclaimed water, so it’s getting the nutrients from that. I have it on banks as well, and it grows nicely there to. One thing that we have seen, is when people walk across it, that makes a trail, it doesn’t die, it just grows lower, and tighter. We have it growing underneath trees, with full shade, and it does very well even in very shady conditions. Every once in a while, there’s some areas that I’ll put mulch on top of it, and it will go through it, which acts is a fertilizer throughout the years. It’s amazing stuff.

Thank you! Mine is very similar to yours. Some places it is long and dense but not all attached to the ground.. Some places where we walk the most has small lealves. Other places it barely grew and keeps drying out and staying small. I think I will do the pebbles like you did. Thank you! I feel like I am doing as well as I can. We use only water catchment form our roof that I carry around and water.

Can you trim what has grown over the sidewalk and plant it in the areas where it has failed? Just to see if a more mature version can be sustained? I know you like the natural look, perhaps it will grow over again. I think it looks great!

So if the roots go down 8-10ft as you say, might this be near impossible to eradicate if it was found to be undesirable in a landscape?

Hi Kelsey. We just planted kurapia and something is pulling the plugs out of the ground at night. Not eating them, just pulling them out. Have you heard of this? Thank you!

that's one of the freakiest things I've ever heard! 😆 Sounds like the start of a horror story. The racoon explanation makes so much sense though. I hope you found out what was pulling your plugs out and that your lawn is flourishing now!

Hi Kelsey, a couple of questions re: Kurapia. We live in the North San Diego region, the area I'm thinking of putting the Kurapia will average about 9 to 10 hours of sun. Is that to much sun for Kurapia? And how durable is Kurapia to wild rabbits? The little critters are know to eat ground cover and a little plants...whats your experience with wild rabbits?? BTW, Nice, relaxing front yard. My brother has a home in Dana Point, that's like yours. His front yard gets a lot of shade, a little damp due to taller buildings around and the so called "morning marine layer" Thanks for your video.

I have Kurapia at my house in Orange County and it receives full sun exposure and is doing great. The area with the most sun has grown the most dense, and the area that is shaded is visibly thinner. I am not sure about whether or not wild rabbits will eat it though.

I see you are walking barefoot on it. Is it really that soft? It looks like it could be kind of viny? It doesn't grow little nettle type pods?
