Pyrenean Sedge

Water the Pyrenean Sedge regularly, keeping the soil slightly damp but not soggy. Depending on local weather, water no more than once a week, giving a deep soaking to the top 6–8 inches of soil. During hot and dry spells, you may need to water your plant even more, ensuring that the soil remains moist. However, avoid overwatering as this can lead to fungal diseases and root rot. When watering, be sure to check the soil and adjust the frequency to ensure that it is not too dry or too wet.

Pyrenean Sedge species requires direct sunlight for at least 4-6 hours every day. In the summer, sunlight hours should ideally be 8-10 hours. They also prefer bright dappled sunlight for much of the day, although direct midday sun should be avoided in hot climates. They should be placed in a spot where they receive direct sunlight in the morning and afternoon, and a little bit of dappled shade in the middle of the day. When grown indoors, they should be placed near a south- or southwest-facing window that receives direct light for a good portion of the day.

Pyrenean Sedge (Carex micropoda) should be pruned lightly in late winter or early spring, when the plant is still dormant. Pruning should only be done to shape and encourage more growth. Any stems that are weak, diseased or dead should be removed. Additionally, careful removal of any foliage that is beginning to age can help re-invigorate the plant. It is important to avoid excessive pruning, as it may weaken the root system and often prevent flowering and seeding. A light trim of top growth can also encourage branching and spread in the long term.
