How do you care for papyrus trees or papyrus plants?

Answer by  ambersfrog (157)

The papyrus is especially needy of sunlight so it should be placed in the most sunlit place in the house. Also the papyrus is sensitive to the water it gets. Hard water can cause the outer edges of the plant to get brown so if you notice this is happening, switch to distilled or rainwater.
