Umbrella Grass in Vase Terrarium
Umbrella Grass Care
Light: Umbrella Grass can be grown equally well in full sun, bright light, light shade or medium shade. It's very adaptable and accommodating for the most part. If things are too dark it will tell you by producing very few new shoots or stems.
Watering: Can you overwater a Cyperus plant? Not really is the answer. Very simply you must provide a high level of water saturation at all times to keep your Umbrella Grass healthy and lush looking.
Humidity: If you've followed the above instructions you can ignore humidity requirements as no additional humidity is needed. This is because the constant moisture at the roots will create a mini ecosystem and raise the humidity levels naturally around the plant.
Fertilizer: Although it can produce a lot of growth, in comparison to bigger houseplants it will obviously not use as much feed. This means you only need to feed occasionally, perhaps once a month at standard strength when the plant is in active growth.
Temperature: This is a plant that outdoors is quite hardy and this is mirrored indoors. A temperature range between 50°F to 72°F will be perfect. Cooler temperatures down to around 39°F are accepted for short periods. Be careful if things get too warm as this will cause a rapid drying of the soil resulting in more frequent watering.
