DWARF EGYPTIAN PAPYRUS CARE FULL
This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. As such, gardeners should take into consideration that it will perform differently than it would in its native habitat. Although it's not a true annual, this fast-growing plant can be expected to behave as an annual in our climate if left outdoors over the winter, usually needing replacement the following year. It tends to be leggy, with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground, and should be underplanted with lower-growing perennials. Prince Tut Egyptian Papyrus will grow to be about 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 3 feet. Prince Tut Egyptian Papyrus is recommended for the following landscape applications It has no significant negative characteristics. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. Prince Tut Egyptian Papyrus is an herbaceous annual with an upright spreading habit of growth. Prince Tut Egyptian Papyrus' attractive grassy leaves remain green in colour throughout the season on a plant with an upright spreading habit of growth. Once the water plant is established the yabbies wont be as interested in the older growth.This variety is a large semi-aquatic, grass-like plant producing towering green stems with green bracts perfect for pond side planting or in moist gardens doesn't mind being submerged a few inches The mesh needs to be large enought for the new leaves to grow through, but small enough that yabbies cant get through.
Yabbies love new water plant leaves, so if you have yabbies in your dam, you will need to place a fine mesh cage around your water plant. Most dams will have enough nutrients to feed your water plants during the growing season, but one of Triffid Park's Water Plant Fertililser Tabets pushed into the root system on planting is a good way to get your water plant established. If you cannot get into the dam and dig a hole to plant the water plant, you can use a tent peg to hold it down. Read the depth information for the water plant and do not plant any deeper than suggested when the dam is at full height or you will drown your water plant. If you are planting into a dam or lagoon, plant straight into the base of the dam. Pat down firmly, then place a layer of small pebbels or gravel around the top to stop the mix floating. Place one of Triffid Park's Water Plant Fertiliser Tablets on the soil, sit the water plant beside the fertiliser tablet and fill the rest of the pot with your soil to just below the growing tip. Work out how deep you will need to plant your water plant in the pot so the tip is level with the top, then fill the pot with your soil to where the roots would start. When planting your water plant, you want the top of the growing tip to be level with the top of the pot. one that you could grow vegetables in is best - do not use potting mix as it can contain pine bark and other composts not suitable for ponds, as they can release the wrong nutrients which then feed algae. You will need to pot it into a pot large enough for it to grow, or even a 4 litre ice cream container will do (eat the icecream first!). If you are planting it in a pond or decorative water bowl, read the minimum and maximum depth requirements on the label. During the dormant period in winter, it may have no leaves depending on the variety. You can repot water plants at any time of the year.ĭuring spring, summer and autumn your water plant will arrive with some leaves. When you receive your water plant, it will come to you bare/loose rooted (not potted). Please DO NOT order this plant if you are in the N.T., as we will not send it. Then again at the start of summer, and the start of autumn to encourage healthy growth and green foliage.ĪVAILABLE: Australia wide except for Northern Territory, as we do not have permits to export into the Northern Territory. However a dish/saucer of water is all you need to sit your pot plant in, as long as you make sure there is always water in the saucer.ĬARE: Fertilise in spring with one of Triffid Park’s water plant fertilizer tablets to encourage new growth at the start of the growing season. In a decorative pot, think of them as a potted plant, growing in water, and then you can grow it on your patio, verandah, balcony etc. POSITION: Grow in full sun to part shade in the shallow waters around the edges of ponds, dams and wet lands 5-10cm deep.Ĭan also be grown in decorative water pot with no hole.
