How to Select Healthy Spreading Rush？

When selecting a healthy spreading Rush, look for vibrant, green leaves and stems indicating good health. Inspect for any signs of pests or diseases, such as spots, holes, or wilting. Ensure the plant has a strong, well-developed root system by gently checking if the roots are white and evenly spread without being root-bound. A healthy spreading Rush should show overall vigor and dense growth. Avoid plants with yellowing or browning leaves, as this can signal poor health or stress.
