Plant Care Tips:

Sunlight:

Cyperus alternifolius may thrive in every light condition, including bright sunlight, medium light, light shade, and full sun.

Watering:

While established plants are drought-tolerant, regular watering is essential, especially during dry periods. Water deeply, allowing the topsoil to dry out between waterings.

Pruning:

Prune to shape and control size. This encourages bushier growth and enhances the plant's overall appearance.
