Although Cyprus grass does not have to be cut, it sometimes makes sense because of its strong growth
Cutting the Cyprus grass - a thing of necessity?
It looks very similar to the well-known papyrus plant and yet is quite headstrong. The Cyprus grass looks like a graceful reed plant and can even be moved indoors. To what extent it needs a pruning, read below!
A cut is generally not necessary
The Cyprus grass is also growing well without a regular cut. In general, it is not necessary to cut it. But there are several reasons that make a cut can make sense.
Extremely fast growing - up to 250 cm per year!
The main reason is that the Cyprus grass is extremely fast growing. It can grow up to 250 cm per year. However, this is usually not the case with a room culture. Rather open-land plants venture so rapidly up in the height. If your Cyprus grass is too big for you, you can shorten it.
Cut back before wintering
Since the Cyprus grass is not hardy, it should be wintered. Before it is quartered for the winter, it is advisable to cut it down. It can be radically shortened - depending on how you like it.
Grab the cutting tool to get cuttings or offshoots
If you want to multiply your Cyprus grass, you can do it with cuttings or offshoots. Also, a cut is required. How does the cuttings increase:
To obtain offshoots is also a cut attached. The offshoots appear over the head of a Cyprus grass. Cut the offshoot and continue as in the cuttings.
Remove brown shoots
In the spring, the Cyprus grass often looks a bit battered when it has been wintered in the home 4 walls. Some parts of plants are dry or brown. Such unsightly areas (withered, dried up, brown) you can just cut off. They grow again.
Tips
Some species of Cyprus grass only reach a maximum height of 40 cm. With these you rarely need to reach for the scissors or the knife for the purpose of shortening.
