Papyrus and Water Gardens | At Home With P. Allen Smith

[@cerealeskilleur5117]

the egyptians were making most of their paper/papyrus from the real papyrus Cyperus Cyperus, as this one is bigger and grows near the Nil and not from Cyperus alternifolia like this one. Cyperus alternifolia is a kind of "domestic-friendly" version of the real papyrus. but still it's an awesome plant

I grow these out doors in Texas, some full sun some in shade around trees. I to cut the tops before the weather gets too cold an freezes at night to make new starts every year. I've had really good luck but not sure what soil PH works best for these, some I grow in clay, sand, rocks or just a large glass pot and they all do well. The water I use is from rain, ground well or distilled, city water has too much salt/chloride and makes the leaf tips yellow

I think that one is a different species from madagascar not the Egyptian papyrus.

I was hoping to see how the dwarf papyrus is displayed without tipping over. My garden is 30" deep full of water. I can't keep them submerged.

This is not real papyrus

[@suppa6855]

Same family, egiptian papyrus is "cyperus papyrus" and this one in the vídeo "cyperus alternifolius".

[@Oxyleya]

@@suppa6855 Hence the egyptians didn't make paper out of alternifolius though

Really stupid photography. Was the subject not interesting enough?
