watering

Dudley's rush (Juncus dudleyi) should be watered regularly and deeply, about once a week during the spring and summer months. If grown in a container, water should be applied until it runs out of the bottom of the pot. During the winter months, water it every 2 to 4 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. This plant does not tolerate standing water for too long, and it should be avoided to prevent root rot.

sunlight

Dudley's rush (Juncus dudleyi) grows best in partial to full sun. When growing this plant species, it is important to ensure that it receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight or bright, indirect light on a daily basis, with direct sunlight preferred. During the hottest portion of the day, providing partial shade may help protect the plant from sun stress.

pruning

Dudley's rush (Juncus dudleyi) should be pruned in the late winter while it is still dormant. Pruning can help to promote a fuller and more attractive form, as well as encourage faster growth. Prune back each stem to just above the crown of the plant to remove any dead or withered foliage that will not produce new growth. When pruning back Dudley's rush, make sure to cut away any sections that look yellow or discolored. When finished, the plant should be a bushy mound with a neat and healthy appearance.
