Beautiful and airy roomy palm tree cyperus is completely unpretentious, and will delight its emerald greenery owner all year round, and with good care can and blossom. But the only problem she still has - the cyperus turns yellow and the tips of the leaves dry. It is necessary to trim them, or to remove the escape altogether, but this does not solve the problem.
Why do the cyperus dry the tips of the leaves?
It's all about the humidity that cyperus simply adores, and in any way. The more moist the soil in the pot, the better from this plant. In the wild in the tropics and subtropics, where the humidity is maximum, the cyperus develops very actively and there is no question of any drought. The plant can be found on the banks of rivers, almost "feet in the water", and therefore it is impossible to pour it - the more moisture, the more beautiful the leaves of the plant.
If the tips of the leaves turn yellow and then wither, then in addition to the moisture of the soil, one must also take care of the humidity of the air. The plant can be arranged a regular warm shower, although this is not entirely convenient in an apartment. The most optimal option for preserving leaf tips in an ideal condition is a household air humidifier that does not interfere with other plants in the room.
But it is easier and quicker to moisturize cyperus on the leaves using a spray gun with warm water and in hot weather such procedures can be performed several times a day.
In summer, if possible, the cyperus can be planted in the garden, in a moist place near the drain and forget about it for the whole summer. Then in the autumn, before you dig it up again and place it in a home container with soil, you will see how the natural moisture positively affected the plant. Do not be afraid of damage to the roots of the cyperus - it carries multiple transplants painlessly.
