Cyperus care

Cyperus Although not very prestigious, it is a houseplant loved by many housewives, which looks quite exotic, but behaves “our way” and is not picky. More often it can be found not even in flower shops, but among grandmothers in spontaneous markets. I also wanted to have Cyperus because this the plant has a long beautiful history. After all, this the same papyrus that was written on in ancient Egypt. From it (or rather from its wild relative) also made boats, sandals, baskets and many other useful things.

Since this mini-palm comes from tropical rainforests, the main Cyperus care – this is frequent watering. Don't forget to spray the cyperus too. Its flowers are inconspicuous, so their main decorative value is symmetrical neat umbrellas of leaves on straight long stems. Some species of this plant reach a meter and a half in height, but there are others that are lower.

Tsiperus no need for a cool winter, You can leave it in your home with a clear conscience. Unless, of course, your temperature exceeds +25 Celsius. Coming out of the swamps, this handsome guy loves to drink water. You can slightly reduce watering during the cold autumn-winter period. But even at this time there should always be moisture in the pan. It is better to fertilize in spring and summer.

Very interesting cyperus reproduces. All you have to do is tilt the stem, lowering the umbrella into a bowl of water, and within a week or two you will see white roots between the leaves. Some time after planting this root, the stem dries out and green shoots appear.

If a cat lives in your house, it is better not to let it close to the pot with cyperus. Otherwise, there may be nothing left of the umbrellas.
