Grass. Yes, beautiful, relaxing, enjoyable. But also demanding and difficult to care for in some seasons. To have a green mantle, you have to know their needs, but you also have to have the right climatic conditions.
There are times when the grass insists on infatuation and the solution at hand is to find a replacement. Here, three options are available:
Apthenia cordifolia
All the upholstery plants they are the most popular substitutes for grass. Of all of them, asthenia corfifolia is presented as a great alternative. It is a bright green plant, native to Africa and belonging to the Aizoaceae family.
The care is very simple so you will not have problems with it. Moderate but regular watering will help it grow quickly through cuttings. It has one point in its favor: it resists the lack of water very well. Although keep in mind the light because it needs a full sun.
Zoysia japonica
Also known as miracle grass, its nickname has a reason for being and that is that it is a great replacement for grass due to its strength.
If you want a green mantle that covers the garden quickly, it is not the best option as it is a slow-growing species. On the other hand, this will allow you to cut it at more widely spaced intervals.

Lippia nodiflora
It is also a carpet plant, although for many it is an alternative option to the previous one as it is very adaptable as it resists low temperatures, drought and excessive heat.
It is very undemanding, with a watering every two weeks during the summer it will hold up without problems.
