He shaved the head of the pennywort, and the leaves grew out in a straight line, and were actually bigger than lotus leaves!

Why should I cut the 8 cm leaf copper coin grass?

The pennywort is comparable to an invasive species. As long as the environment is moist, it will thrive if you throw it in. Flower lovers who like them don’t have to buy them. Just pay more attention when you go out. When you see them, pick a few and take them home to grow.

The pennywort grown with turtle water filled up the plastic box in less than half a year. Its leaves were green and looked spectacular.

I found a ruler to measure it. Wow, the leaves are basically 8 cm wide. Why do they need to be trimmed?

The pennywort tends to grow tall in the summer, with some growing long and some short, not very neat, and it is too dense, with some unhealthy leaves stuck in between that are not easy to see. If you don't cut it now, when will you?

The Diary of the Shaving of Copper Coin Grass

1. Cut as soon as you say cut. Prepare a pair of sharp scissors. It is best to burn the blade with a lighter or roast it on the fire to achieve the effect of high-temperature disinfection (let it cool before use).

2. Grab a handful and cut it. You can cut it hard, leaving only about 2 cm above the water surface. Look, there are a lot of dead leaves in this bunch, which can easily cause diseases and insect pests. You won’t know until you cut them.

3. After cutting, it looks a bit dirty and messy. Fortunately, it has been trimmed and it can be cleaned up!

4. After shaving the pennywort, avoid direct sunlight and place it in a cool place for a while. Within three to five days, the little "copper coins" will emerge again, and they will be neatly arranged!

5. After the leaves emerge, you can let some diffuse light appear, so that they will not grow too tall and the leaves will be strong and green. You can sunbathe in the morning and afternoon, but the midday sun is too strong and needs shade.

6. After about 2 weeks, the shaved pennywort will be able to grow stably and its leaves will be a circle larger than before!

How to grow pennywort and make more and more money

After shaving, the pennywort itself will stimulate growth and reduce the risk of insect diseases. In addition to this method of growing pennywort well, you can also learn a few more tricks to make the "money" bigger and more abundant!

1. Water culture in pots for exposure to the sun, soil culture for shade

If it is grown in water and has sufficient water, it needs more exposure to the sun so that the leaves can become thick and green and avoid growing tall and getting sick. If the pennywort is planted in soil, it should be kept in a cool place, because the moisture evaporates quickly under the strong sun, and it will dry out and die if exposed to too much sun.

2. Serve with rice water once a month

As we all know, rice water must be fermented thoroughly before use. Compared with other homemade fertilizers, rice water has little odor and great efficacy. It will mature after being placed in a plastic bottle and exposed to the sun for a week. It can be used for both soil and hydroponics. 5-10ml is enough for one pouring.

3. Add nutrient solution and compound fertilizer

The pennywort is also very greedy. Ambitious flower lovers can boldly add fertilizer. Add 10 grains of compound fertilizer or 3-5ml of nutrient solution every month, and you can grow a pennywort the size of a lotus leaf!

4. Prevent and control pests and diseases

Hydroponic pennywort is prone to breeding small insects. You can add some garlic foam, crushed mosquito coils, or a few cigarette sticks to the water to kill the small insects in the water. If it is scale insects on the leaves, just spray some alcohol or scale killer.
