How often should I water my Blue Arrow Rush Plant?

Juncus Blue Arrow is sometimes used as a border plant around ponds and other water fixtures since they are so tolerant of some standing water. They can tolerate drying out somewhat between waterings, but we would not recommend that you let the soil ever dry out entirely. The best way to water a Juncus Blue Arrow is to thoroughly saturate the soil (and make sure it is well draining soil) until water runs out of the bottom into the drip tray, and discard all water that drains out. Then, wait until the top inch of soil has become dry to the touch before watering again. When in doubt, it is better to wait a day or two than to over water, as overwatering could cause root rot.

Do I need to fertilize my Juncus Blue Arrow?

Do I need to fertilize my Juncus Blue Arrow?

Juncus Blue Arrow will benefit from a basic plant food, especially while becoming established or when planted indoors. Either liquid formulas or slow-release granular fertilizers will do. For smaller plants, be sure to cut the recommended strength in half, so that you do not over-fertilize and shock the roots. Once or twice a year in the spring and summer is best. Don't fertilize in the late summer or fall, as this can inhibit a successful dormancy.
