Carex Rekohu Sunrise care and maintenance

The most important part of Carex Rekohu Sunrise care is to ensure that the soil is well-drained and does not become waterlogged at any time. This, along with overwatering, is the leading cause of plants failing to perform or dying. The following critical elements are weed control, and The Plant Company recommends spreading an organic mulch around the plants after planting. They should be fed in spring with a native plant fertiliser. At this time, any dead leaves can be removed. The plants are generally not trimmed aside from removing spent flower heads if desired. They rarely suffer from any pests or diseases, but you may want to keep an eye out for mealybugs. Overall, they are a very low-maintenance plant and easy to care for.
