Watering:
Do not allow the soil to dry out.
Fertilizer:
Fertilize the plant once a month, during active growth.
Re-potting:
Because the Cyperus plant cannot withstand cold temperatures, it should be moved to a pot before the first frost in the fall and kept indoors during the winter. When grown in pots, the plant may need to be repotted once a year in a larger pot.
Temperature:
The Cyperus Alternifolius prefers a warm, humid environment and grows best in part shade.
