CIPERUS UMBRELLA – GROWING AND CARE

CIPERUS UMBRELLA – PHOTO IN OPEN GROUND

I also call Cyperus umbrella "water palm". After all, the more you water the plant, the faster it grows. However, he needs good lighting., otherwise the "umbrellas" will be small and pale.

From spring to autumn I water the pet abundantly, so that the ground is constantly slightly moist.

In the summer I take out cyperus to fresh air. Once dropped him in open ground. The plant has become gorgeous, but because of that, that I had to cut the overgrown roots strongly when transplanting into a pot, then it hurt a lot and soon withered.

In the heat, I spray the bush in the morning and evening. To propagate the plant, I cut off a couple of "umbrellas" at the base of the stem and put them "upside down" in the water, and after the formation of roots I plant in the ground.

As cyperus grows rapidly, I hardly feed him, although periodic (not more often 1 once a month) fertilization has a positive effect on the appearance.

During cultivation, my "palm" did not hurt anything. The only thing, sometimes the tips of the leaves dry out, probably, due to flaws in watering.

Once I saw a scale insect on a plant. To get rid of her, two treatments were enough: first "Aktellikom", then "Fitoverm".

SPECIALIST COMMENT

In summer, in bright light, Cyperus umbrella drinks a lot, so you can make him a "swamp". In winter, it is better to limit yourself to moderate watering., preventing the soil from drying out, but drain the excess from the pallet. Leaf problems can begin with a lack of light: they turn yellow, die off, tips dry. Cyperus is comfortable in the sun. Additional lighting is desirable during wintering.. Spray the plant more often - this is the prevention of ticks and leaf drying.

CYPRUS – GROWING IN HOME CONDITIONS. LANDING AND CARE – FLOWER TIPS

THE GOLDEN RULE OF ZIPERUS

Once a friend gave me her Cyperus. The flower had a healthy root system, but some stems are broken. Transplanted the plant into a new pot, into the garden land. I read, how to care for him, and although it was hard to believe, that cyperus can grow in water and not rot, nevertheless decided to experiment.

NO WATER

I put the plant in the far corner and watered the soil from above every day, and when arrows started to appear, then she poured water into a tray and watched, to always be there. And indeed, Cyperus felt great in such conditions. Went on vacation one day and forgot to take care of him. Arrived, and the pet is dry. Tried to reanimate, but nothing worked.

SECOND ATTEMPT

Now Cyperus is going to grow from an umbrella. Put it in the water: roots already appear. Then I will cut off the leaves and plant the cutting in the ground. This time I promise myself I won't overlook!

In the autumn-winter period, this marsh plant must be kept in a warm room., since in the cool with constantly wet soil, the roots will rot.

CIPERUS - MOISTURE READER

This summer I admired the spectacular "umbrellas" of cyperus. But it all started not so rosy.

LATE SUNSURES

I sowed the seeds last spring, as it should be, in very wet soil. Put in place, where is the diffused sunlight. There were no shoots for a long time. Even the thought came, I can't wait for them. I wanted to use this land for other plants. And then I saw, that some kind of grass appeared, completely different from cyperus. Turns out, this is how young sprouts look, and the umbrellas open as they grow older. I transplanted dense growth from a small container into a large. When it became crowded there too, planted in small bunches in separate flowerpots, gently separating the roots.

SAVE CIPERUS UNTIL SPRING

Seedlings grow well in favorable conditions. the main thing, there must be water in the pot at all times. So I don't make holes in it. In summer, tsiperusu street is comfortable in partial shade. In the fall, I transfer the plant into a smaller container, transfer to the house, where the temperature is not lower +15 city., and follow, so that the soil does not dry out. During the winter, the green mass may lose its decorative appearance., but it is not important. Roots must be preserved, and in the spring, Cyperus will again actively move into growth.
