Overwintering King Tut (Papyrus): Divide & Repot in Spring

King Tut (Cyperus papyrus 'King Tut') overwintered in pot, now lean/leggy. Spring action:

  • If growth only on pot edges: cut off living outer sections with roots, pot up in fresh soil. Don't knock off old soil.
  • If full crown growth: divide in half for two pots, or pot up whole in larger container.
  • Cut weak stems to base.

Fast summer growth makes starting slightly smaller (via division) ideal.
