An exotic wetland plant. The umbrella plant (Cyperus alternifolius) is a bright green stunner. The stems grow so long that they bend downwards. That's where the name "umbrella plant" comes from. The aquatic plant is a waterside and marsh plant. We can plant the plant along the edge (bank) of our pond. Or we can plant the plant up to 40 cm deep in the pond. This plant is easy to care for! We can plant the hardy umbrella plant all year round. The flower blossoms in the summer.
We prune the plant slightly to shape it with a pruning shear. We remove old leaves and dirt. To encourage good growth, we add minerals to the pond water and ensure that the water's hardness level (pH value and calcium to magnesium ratio) is maintained. A location in full sun is best for this aquatic plant.
For a stunning pond!
