Hi again Duane , I took a picture of my papyrus that I am growing from the heads. I usually use the ones that have been caught by the wind and bent in half .

All I do to grow the new plants is cut the stalks I want to use to about 4 inches long , I also trim the head to about 4 inches in Diameter and put the head upside down in a jar with water . You can also just leave the stalk on the main plant and bend the stalk so the head is in water . There is potential to grow multiple new plants from just one head . When they have reached a decent size they still will be small but I usually remove them from the parent plant head when they reach about 4 inches tall . To get them off you just pry them very gently away from the dying head and plant in very moist soil
