I got three dwarf papyrus plants from my son. They seem to be

I thought papyrus was suppose to be in the pond? These are not? I've had
the big version in the pond, have never seen dwarf, bet they would do great
in a stream. ~ jan

They do well but can't take it during the winter if it gets really cold.
I used to over winter them inside but always seemed to get red spider
mites on them. Then, I started leaving them outside. All went well until
it got really cold one year.
