Maintenance guide

Cyperus Nyle Queen
Light

Thrives in full sun to partial shade. Provide at least 4–6 hours of sunlight for best vigor.

Watering

Keep soil constantly wet. For container culture, place the pot in a saucer filled with water and never let it dry out.

Nutrition

Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced water-garden or general-purpose fertilizer to encourage lush, green growth.

Trim and care

Remove older stems as they yellow to promote fresh new growth. In colder climates, overwinter indoors by placing the pot in a bright location and keeping the soil saturated.
