Expert Tips from School Of Scape

Cyperus Helferi thrives when planted in nutrient-rich substrate with root tabs. Provide consistent CO2 and medium to high lighting for best results. The plant develops its characteristic grass-like appearance over time, creating beautiful contrast against broader-leaved species. Trim older leaves at the base to encourage fresh growth and maintain its elegant form.
