Papyrus in pond?
I got three dwarf papyrus plants from my son. They seem to be
thriving in their pots. Has anyone tried them either standing in a pot in a stream or wetfoot in a pot actually in the pond? |

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 ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |

I am starting with one of them in the stream. It is one of two
returning to the pond and perhaps 1/2" deep. That will give the pot 'marsh-like' root space. The other pot is out of the pond for comparison. |

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. JB |

Moses was found amoun the bulrushes, looks like long rounded grass
growing in water. He probably read things of papyrus as it was used to make paper (whence our word! 'papyr'). Some of the earliest New Testament manuscript pieces he have are on papyrus. |

It will have dissipated by the time spring rolls around. Bet that would work on papyrus also. ~ jan ------------ Zone 7a, SE Washington State Ponds: www.jjspond.us |
