Q.My Miniature Monkey Grass Is Disappearing In Patches.
It’s not dying or yellowing just disappearing in patches. What’s the cause and what’s the cure?

It needs well draining soil. Excess moisture may be causing it to die out. I see some spots with moss, which grows in shady, compacted soil or soils that don't drain well. It could be too that moisture is draining to those low areas. You can add compost to those bare spots to help with drainage and raise up the soil, then replant. Here is more about dwarf mondo grass:
