Finding light for Arctic Rush in your home

How to fertilize Arctic Rush
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Arctic Rush after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My new plant ;)

Send help. I have a small pot by my kitchen sink and I’m noticing the common rush I have in there is beginning to yellow… Is this because of overwatering or temperature or something like that?

Advice for new plant mum! Hi All! I'm new to the app (and to taking plants in), and I'm just looking for some advice! Two of my plants aren't doing bad (but any caring tips or tricks will still be appreciated), and I couldn't resist the third as she just looks so sad! Given them all a good water as they were looking dry and I've tried to do some research but I thought I'd try a community who knows what they're doing. TIA🥰 #new #advice #nursebacktohealth #corkscrewrush #dieffenbachiasterling

My plant is sick☹️ #CommonRush I was advised not to put it under direct sunlight so I never did, but it looks like it got burnt/dried out. Any tips on how I can rescue her? 🙏🏻

How do y'all care for your corkscrews? People seem to think you should keep them waterlogged because they are "bog plants", but in my experience they hate that. Mine only gets watered when it rains and is kept in a pot with drainage holes.. #corkscrewrush

Hi everyone! Greg has labeled this plant as a ponytail palm but I’m sure it’s not. Does anyone happen to know what he is? He came unlabeled at the store. #PonytailPalm #WhatPlantIsThis #Spring
