Little Green Sedge

Little Green Sedge should be watered 1-2 times a week with just enough water to keep the soil evenly moist. During colder months, reduce watering frequency but ensure the soil does not dry out completely. During the warmer summer months, increase watering frequency as needed to keep the soil evenly moist. The important thing to remember is to ensure the soil does not become too soggy, as this can lead to root rot.

Little Green Sedge generally prefers full sun or light shade. It does best in moist soils, but it tolerates dry conditions very well. This plant is generally winter hardy and can survive even in cold temperatures. During the growing season, it will benefit from about 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. In the fall and winter, however, it should receive slightly less light, preferably 3-4 hours throughout the day. If grown in a container in winter, it should be given full sun throughout the day; however, if grown outside, it can tolerate periods of shade.

Little Green Sedge should be pruned regularly throughout the year by removing dead and damaged stems, and by cutting back any stems that have become too long. Pruning should be done in the spring or early summer if possible, although some varieties may need additional pruning in the fall or winter. Pruning should be done by gently pulling the stems and cutting near the base of the stem or near the crown of the plant. Avoid cutting all the way back to the ground as this will damage the root system and may cause the plant to die. When pruning, it is important to remove any dead or damaged foliage, as this will help to encourage healthy, vigorous growth in the future.
