Sedge

Sedge (Carex x subrecta) should be watered liberally once a week in spring and summer to encourage growth. During summer months, water should be applied more frequently, such as twice a week. In the fall, the frequency of watering should be reduced to once a week. In winter, Sedge should be watered only occasionally, about once every 4 to 6 weeks. The soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. It is important to avoid over-watering of Sedge as this can lead to root rot and fungal disease. Water deeply to ensure that the entire root system is receiving adequate water.

Sedge (Carex x subrecta) is a species of plant that prefers partial sun or bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some shade, but it grows best when it receives direct sunlight for at least 4 hours per day. The timing of the sunlight is important. In the summer, the plant should receive morning sun and be shaded from the afternoon sun; in winter, it should receive the most sunlight in the late afternoon. The intensity of the light also matters; if it is too strong, it can cause the plant to become scorched.

Sedge (Carex x subrecta) should be pruned twice a year to maintain its optimal form and health. Prune in early spring, just before the new growth starts to emerge, and in late summer, prior to its dormancy. When pruning in the spring, cut back the stems to half their length. When pruning in the late summer, reduce the height of the plant by up to 2/3 of its current height. This will help to create a more dense, and therefore healthy, plant. When pruning, remove any dead or damaged growth, and selectively thin out the crown in early spring, removing any extra stems or overcrowded areas.
