How do keep an indoor umbrella plant healthy?

Umbrella plants like daylight and they will always turn their leaves towards it.





Water just once a month, ...and turn the plant to face the opposite way of the daylight at the same time, this encourages the leaves to turn back towards the light and encourages growth.





If the plant gets very untidy looking then you are probably over watering it, ...and if the leaves go brown and start to drop then you are not watering it enough.





I have had mine for twenty years and have never fed it with plant food and it is fine.

Reply:dont put it up inside it gives you bad luck
Reply:Perhaps we are talking about different umbrella plants. Cyperus is the botanic name for umbrella plants here in New Orleans, La. They are a water plant, live in the water an inch above the tops of their pots. They want full sun. If yours is a cyperus, I would keep its feet wet and in as much sun as you can.
Reply:just water it 2 times a week in the winter and 3 times in the summer and keep it away from heating,sunlight, and too much water, and sponge down the leaves so that they are not dusty Luke warm water helps in this preparation
Reply:let dry out between waterings, fertilize with half solution weekly...or repot with sterilized soil with mild fertilizer added by manufacturer, then stop additional feedings till new soil breaks down....good luck....mine is almost 6 feet tall....
