Cultivation methods and precautions of copper coin grass

1. Breeding method

The propagation of pennywort is quite simple and can be expanded through creeping stems. There are creeping stems at the bottom of the pennywort, and leaves grow on each node. When propagating, just cut a stem node with four or five leaves and place it in the environment where it needs to be cultivated, and it will expand and grow.

2. What to do if the leaves turn yellow

①Put in the bottom mud

Reason: The roots were washed too clean during hydroponics and there was no substrate.

Solution: When raising fish in water, you need to put a certain amount of bottom mud or aquatic plant mud at the bottom.

②Increase the temperature

Reason: The temperature is too low, causing the leaves to turn yellow.

Solution: Increase the temperature appropriately.

③Change water at the right time

Cause: When hydroponically growing plants, the water is changed too frequently or has not been changed for a long time.

Solution: Change the water once a week, and only change half of the water. This will keep the aquatic ecosystem relatively stable.

3. Pests and diseases

The disease and insect pest problems of pennywort are not particularly serious. The main problem is that aphids may grow on the back of its leaves during the growth process, and sometimes leaf miners will drill into the leaf flesh. When the number is small, they can be caught manually and the infested leaves can be cut off. When the number is large, you can use pesticides such as imidacloprid for prevention and control.

4. Cooperate with fish farming

Fish can be raised in hydroponic pennywort, and raising fish in it also has certain benefits for the pennywort. However, you should pay attention to the choice of fish species. Do not choose big fish or fish such as carp that eat grass. It is recommended that you raise small fish such as mosquito fish and minnows. Their excrement can be used as a source of nutrition for the plants. In addition, pennywort can also purify water during its growth and help it grow better. Additionally, this small fish feeds on mosquito larvae, which prevents mosquitoes from forming in the water.
