Thriving in wetland environments, bulrush has evolved to have a high tolerance for water immersion and fluctuating water levels. This species typically requires consistent moisture, mirroring its natural habitat's conditions. It is best suited to watering every week to maintain the damp soil it prefers. Transitioning smoothly from its native aquatic surroundings, bulrush is often found outdoors where it can benefit from natural rainfall patterns. As a plant that commonly graces the edges of ponds and lakes, bulrush's growth cycle is heavily influenced by the availability of water, making it an excellent indicator of wetland health.
