Cyperus longus - Papyrus

Feed Cyperus longus : In this period of the year fertilizing has the aim to prepare the plants for the wintry season; usually we should fertilize every 30-40 days, using a product which isn’t very rich in nitrogen.

continental : Let's grow the The Cyperus longus where it can enjoy as many hours as possible of direct sunlight.
These plants are cultivated in the apartment or in a temperate greenhouse, they can’t stand the cold; if the autumnal temperatures are quite mild we can leave them outside, but only when the minimum temperatures are above 15°C.

alpine : Plant which needs to be exposed to direct sunrays.
We advise cultivating these plants in a place with minimum night temperatures above 15°C; in autumn we suggest sheltering them inside the house.

mediterranean : Locate the The in a sunny place, where it can receive direct solar rays for at least a few hours a day.
We advise growing these plants in a sheltered place; when the autumnal temperatures go below 15°C it’s best to locate the The Cyperus longus in the apartment.

continental : We recommend watering only when the ground has been dry for days, about every 1-2 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water; let’s also avoid exposing our plants to rain.

alpine : It’s not necessary to water too often; we can act from time to time with 1-2 glasses of water every 2-3 weeks, moistening the ground.

mediterranean : Water from time to time using 3-4 glasses of water, letting the soil dry for 0-1 weeks before watering again; it’s best to leave the soil dry for a longer time lapse, rather than wetting more than needed.

Adversity Cyperus longus : When the climate is still not too harsh we should apply a wide range fungal treatment, vaporizing the fungicide even on the soil on the feet of the plants. Let’s remember to collect and destroy the leaves of the plants affected by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease.
