Floating club-rush is a charming semi-aquatic sedge that thrives in consistently wet or boggy conditions, making it ideal for pond edges, aquatic containers, or terrariums. Provide bright indirect to partial direct light and ensure the soil or growing medium never dries out completely. It is well suited for vivarium and paludarium setups where high humidity is maintained.
