YUNCUS, OR JUNKUS, SITNIK SPREADING SPIRALIS (JOINT SPIRAL DISCHARGE)
I bought curly yunkus last fall.
I immediately transplanted it into a fresh mixture of universal soil and vermiculite. (1:1), adding ash and coconut fiber. Drainage is good. Watered moderately. But over time, the shoots began to dry. And now I found, that the roots are dry. I want to buy this plant again. Prompt, what conditions and care does he need?

Juncus, or junkus, foodie spreading Spiralis (Juncus spilled Spiral) - moisture-loving plant.
Water it from above, abundantly and regularly, without waiting for the top layer to dry. No need to keep water in the pan, how often do you recommend, and minutes later 15 take away.
Better to water more often, preventing the soil from drying out.
Another important point in the content is bright lighting.. In the depths of the room, the rush cannot stand, immediately starts to turn yellow. In winter, he has a place on a sunny windowsill, summer outdoors, so as not to overheat through the glass, or in a well ventilated room.
The worst combination of conditions is heat with a lack of light. Therefore, in winter, the plant is more comfortable, when it's a little chilly (near + 18 city.).
No need to rush to transfer, but wait until spring. And if necessary (cramped pot, roots sticking out of drainage holes) gently roll into a mixture of peat soil and perlite.
New capacity - a couple of centimeters more than the previous one. Although it is one of the few plants, which calmly relates to large volume and waterlogging, because it is swampy.
