> Dear All- Many Cyperus species can be propigated from the top of the leaves (C. haspans-dwarf papyrus , Umbrella palms etc. ) But to my knowledge the true Papyrus (Cyperus papyrus) can not be propigated this way. Papyrus is always propigated by either division of plants or by seed. the plants can be even divided down to single stems to propigate them quickly. the smaller secondary buds will then start to grow. The resulting plants will be smaller but will reach full size in a couple of months with good light and fertilizer. Papyrus ((as well as most other Cyperus sp.) is also quite easy to grow from seed. Just surface sow and keep the soil quite moist and the seed will germinate quite fast. Sincerely Marc Waterford Gardens
