You know Patty? That doesn't sound like a bad idea! I don't know when the last time was, that I had a vacation that lasted longer than 4 days. (and one I didn't need to have another vacation to get over, because I cram it all in!) hehe.

The Papyrus doesn't seem to have any special requirements. I basically just water them the same way I would my thirsty annuals (every 2nd day) and it's been hot! In the stacked planter I tried that Moisture Control Soil and it seems to actually require less watering (a couple times a week).

The first couple plants I found at Home Depot. The one that I just planted was a gift and they bought it at Target! I don't see many of them, but when I do I grab them as they are so cute and seem to do well here.

Here's another one I put into a small container. It has grown so many more shoots and I'm finding I have to thin them out regularly, as it gets too bushy and loses that sparkler look.

Hope you find them!
