A note from PlantMom

Soft-stem spikerush resists disease well and is typically not vulnerable to illnesses. As for care, the plant is fairly low maintenance. When grown outdoors it needs little watering, and larger plants usually do not require pruning. Smaller plants, however, should be trimmed after they finish blooming. Soft-stem spikerush is appropriate for anyone with an outdoor area, such as a garden or deck, and does not demand extensive care experience.
