Twisted Sister (Juncus effusus) — Plant Care Guide

Twisted Sister is a corkscrew rush, botanically known as Juncus effusus.

Keep the potting mix consistently moist

This is a moisture-loving rush. Water before the surface dries, and check the pot daily during hot or windy weather.

Light

Outdoors, choose full sun to part shade. Morning sun and afternoon shade suit hot Sydney spots. Indoors, place it close to a bright window.

Watering

Water thoroughly until it runs from the drainage holes. A shallow saucer can help the pot stay moist in warm weather. Refresh the saucer water regularly.

Trimming

Snip dead or fully brown stems at the base with clean scissors. Leave the green, curled stems to grow.

Repotting

When the clump fills its pot, move it into a slightly larger pot in spring. Use a quality potting mix that holds moisture and a pot with drainage holes.
