Juncus duthiei thrives in consistently moist soil. Water regularly to prevent the soil from drying out completely.

During warmer months, ensure the pot is sitting in a tray of water to maintain high humidity and mimic its natural boggy environment. Reduce watering slightly in cooler periods, but never allow it to become bone dry.

Pruning is primarily for aesthetic maintenance and removing dead or damaged foliage. Trim back any brown or yellowing leaves at the base of the plant.

This can be done at any time of year, but is most effective in early spring before new growth begins. This encourages a tidier appearance and healthier new shoots.

Juncus duthiei is typically propagated by division. In spring, carefully lift the plant and divide the root ball into smaller sections, ensuring each division has healthy roots and shoots.

Replant the divisions immediately into moist soil. Alternatively, seeds can be sown in moist conditions in spring.

Repot Juncus duthiei every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes pot-bound. The best time to repot is in early spring.

Use a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and plant in a well-draining, moisture-retentive potting mix. Ensure the crown of the plant is at soil level.
