The Common rush prefers loose, well-draining potting mix. When potting the plant, use a mix specifically labeled for houseplants or a suitable compost. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogged soil and root rot. If you notice poor drainage, replace the soil immediately. Common rush can be grown in containers both indoors and outdoors. When planting in a container, ensure there are drainage holes at the bottom, and choose a pot that is the appropriate size for the plant. Container gardening allows for easier maintenance and control of the plant’s environment.
