{"title":"Cyperus","description":"\u003cp\u003eLe Cyperus alternifolius (papyrus parapluie, aussi appelé herbe à chats) est une plante semi-aquatique au charme graphique unique. Ses fines tiges dressées s'épanouissent au sommet en ombelles de feuilles disposées en étoile, comme de petits parasols verts. Cousine du papyrus égyptien, c'est l'une des rares plantes d'intérieur qui adore avoir les pieds dans l'eau — un atout qui en fait la plante parfaite pour les jardiniers qui ont tendance à trop arroser.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUne plante qui adore l'eau\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContrairement à la quasi-totalité des plantes d'intérieur, le Cyperus ne craint pas l'excès d'eau — au contraire, il l'exige. Dans la nature, il pousse au bord des marais et des cours d'eau. En pot, vous pouvez laisser sa soucoupe constamment remplie d'eau sans aucun risque de pourriture racinaire. C'est la plante idéale pour qui oublie souvent d'arroser ou, à l'inverse, qui a la main lourde.

Disponible en pot décoratif et dans une gamme de cache-pots ELHO assortis (b.for rock noir, b.for soft brique, b.for rock gris, Vibes Fold jaune), il s'intègre dans toutes les ambiances.

Maintenez toujours le substrat détrempé et la soucoupe remplie d'eau. Offrez-lui une lumière vive (il tolère un peu de soleil direct) et une température normale d'intérieur. Le seul signe de souffrance est le brunissement des pointes, signe que la plante a manqué d'eau — un problème vite corrigé. Coupez les tiges fanées à la base pour stimuler de nouvelles pousses.
