Juncus wallichianus is a perennial plant that grows in wetlands or near water, reaching a height of approximately 30 to 60 cm. This plant thrives in relatively low temperatures and prefers moist soil. During the summer, an environment with ample sunlight is ideal, but strong direct sunlight should be avoided.
