With a tiller growth habit, the Cayman grass produces abundant stolon. In addition, in high moisture conditions, this grass modifies its growth habit and develops, early during its growth cycle, a large number of decumbent stems, which produce tillers and roots at the nodes, a characteristic similar to that of Brachiaria humidicola. These superficial roots give the plant support, absorb nutrients, and supply oxygen to the plant in these adverse conditions of poor drainage.
