How to grow soft rush grass
Soft Rush Grass Loves Sun Light
Soft rush grass needs to be in a place with full, bright sunlight. It's also essential that the area is well-drained and has consistent water. To grow soft rush grass, you must ensure the soil is moist enough for the plant. The best method of watering is using a soaker hose or drip system. If this isn't an alternative, use a watering can or pour water around the plant's base as needed.
You will also need to fertilize your soft rush grass regularly. Fertilizing regularly keeps the plant healthy and strong while increasing its vigor. Organic fertilizers such as liquid fish emulsion should be used at least twice per week during summer and three times per week during winter.
Cut back dead or rotting stems with shears or clippers to trim your soft rush grass. You can do this if there are few leaves on your plants.
