Common Rush in Vase Terrarium

WATER: Water generously. Constantly wet soil is needed to keep Juncus effusus 'Spiralis' healthy and thriving. Don't allow the soil to dry out. Foliage will turn yellow then brown if it gets too dry. It's a good idea to keep your corkscrew rush plant in a pot without a drainage hole. Juncus is native to marsh areas, so it loves soggy soil -- even standing water.

LIGHT: Shed some light. Put your Juncus plant in your sunniest window -- or shift it outdoors for the spring and summer. It will tolerate lower light levels, but won't grow much. 

TEMPERATURE: Average to warm room temperatures (65-80°F/18-27°C) year-round. If you put this tender ornamental out on the patio for the summer, bring it back in when the temperature drops. It won't tolerate frost.

FERTILIZER: Feed once a month spring through fall with a balanced (such as 10-10-10 NPK) liquid or water-soluble fertilizer.
