Unlike many other houseplants the water requirement isn't something you can negotiate on as attempting to do so will quickly cause ugly effects with the arrival of brown splotches on the leaves or completely yellow / brown Umbrella Grass stems.

Fill those drainage free containers or drip trays up. One of the few houseplants that really love being grown in standing water. So if you become a fan it's very easy to grow more plants or give them away as unusual presents. It copes well with a range of light and temperature levels, grows quickly and is easily propagated.
It grows just as well indoors as it does in a pond as long as you ensure the roots are kept constantly wet.Īlthough you must not underwater this plant at anytime, in all other ways Umbrella Grass is actually a very easy houseplant. It's very adapted to having its roots completely surrounded by water at all times and ultimately this is something that's needed if you want a good looking Cyperus. Theoretically, Umbrella Grass is actually a pond or aquatic plant which resembles water reeds. This houseplant is very unique and its the only plant we've written about to date which can not (99% of the time) be killed by overwatering. This is one houseplant that is impossible to kill through overwatering.
In order to avoid confusion we're going to use Umbrella Grass as its primary name in our article, but all of the above names are equally valid. With age the leaves and stems eventually form a grass-like clump, and this look is distinctly different to the other commonly grown Umbrella Plant i.e. The Umbrella element of its various names comes from the leaflets that grow on top of the tall stems which (wait for it) look like the spokes of an Umbrella, giving an overall attractive and novel appearance. Papyrus plants are grass-like plants that make super simple houseplants.
