Water: Roundhead bulrush thrives in consistently moist environments, reflecting its wetland origins. It requires watering twice a week to maintain adequate soil hydration, and is best cultivated outdoors where it benefits from natural rainwater and humidity, mirroring its native habitat's conditions.

Fertilize: For roundhead bulrush, applying a 2-inch layer of mulch or compost at the start of the growing season enhances growth and soil fertility. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers to protect flowering, and monitor environmental changes to adjust fertilization. Over-fertilization can disrupt roundhead bulrush's habitat balance.

Pruning: Roundhead bulrush thrives with early spring pruning to foster robust growth. Trim dead stems near the base and thin dense clumps for better air circulation, minimizing disease. Avoid over-pruning to maintain blooms, and adjust techniques based on local conditions for optimal results.

Propagation: Roundhead bulrush thrives when propagated by division during dormancy. Separate and replant divisions promptly, with adequate spacing to allow for mature growth. Use soil that resembles roundhead bulrush's native wetland habitat, ensuring consistent moisture after transplanting to promote optimal root development.
