Care Guide
💧 Water
☀️ Light Full sun
Arctic rush comes from habitats that receive abundant sunlight, such as the shallow margins of ponds and lakes. It prefers full sun but can also tolerate partial sun.
🌡️ Temperature 0–35°C
Arctic rush does well in cold climates and at high elevations. It prefers cool temperatures, good airflow, and a moist environment. In summer, steps should be taken to keep it cool, since it is very sensitive to heat and can easily perish. Dry conditions can also damage the plant. In winter, no special cold protection is required, but maintaining soil moisture is important.
