Help with indoor corkscrew plant

[POPholditdown]

Sorry if this board is just for outdoor, unsure where else to post! Hopefully someone can help anyway..

I bought a corkscrew plant online a few months ago, it was delivered pretty dry, but still mostly green (it was a groupon deal so didn’t want to faff trying to return it).

It hasn’t grown well at all, eventually it all dried up so I removed the dry bits. It now seems to be growing dry. The stalks(?) are coming through brown and you can just pull them out (not growing high, they stop a around an inch)

Is there anyway to rescue this plant?

It looks so lovely and interesting on photos, but I just have a pot of soil with brown bits sticking out

It would help to know exactly what your corkscrew plant is, but I'm assuming it is Juncus effusus 'Spiralis' which is a Rush and therefore likes quite wet conditions, being a bog plant. I haven't any advice really, but this link might help: www.guide-to-houseplants.com/juncus-effusus.html

It is that, sorry I thought corkscrew was the ‘proper’ name.

I’ll have a look at that thank you.

Ha ha! The 'proper' names for plants are always Latin, and then often given nicknames (or cultivar names), and sadly, many popular house plants don't come with a label with the Latin name, which does help with identification.
