    Fungicides are available for Brown Patch treatment on Buffalo lawns, and should be used if cultural management methods do not control the disease on their own.
    Remember the golden rule of lawn fungicides - they are only ever to be used in conjunction with proper lawn care practices (cultural management practices).
    The lawn must remain strong to help fight fungal diseases in conjunction with the fungicide. And unless proper lawn care practices are put into place, the Buffalo lawn will remain highly susceptible to ongoing infections of Brown Patch and all other lawn diseases.

    I would suggest dividing your plant and moving the new divisions into a partial to full shade location.

    Here are some articles to help you.

    I would think it is more of orientation to light than the impact of gravity. If the light comes from below you may have some success. Watering would be tricky as the water would go down towards the blades instead of staying in the root ball. You might try using an expandable agricultural polymer in the soil to hold the water. I'd start some grass in a groundcover tray with sone netting to hold the grass in place, allowing it to grow through the turf netting. Then attach the the metal sheeting. The metal may get too hot for the root zone. Sounds like a fun thing to try. Post back if you have success.

    Water to keep the fiber optic grass moist at all times. Don’t allow the soil to dry out or the plant will turn brown and may die. If you choose to grow the plant in water, place the pot so that the surface of the water remains within 2 inches of the surface of the soil.

    Prune a lanky fiber optic grass plant with garden snips. Clip it back as far as you like and it will return.

    I wish I knew 2 things: where you live (zone, etc) and what type grass you have. I have heard of people wrapping their pots in bubble wrap or other insulation material. I have my doubts about that working if you live in the colder zones. Can you heel it in somewhere? Two other possibilities come to mind. One is to collect seed and winter sow your grass. The other is to cut it down after it goes dormant and bring it inside to an unheated basement. All this assumes you live in zone 5 or under. I don't know what is necessary in zones 6-7.
