Planting techniques and methods of copper coin grass

The pennywort is a relatively easy plant to grow. Its leaves look like coins, which has good meaning and high ornamental value. Many people have potted plants in their homes. Here are some tips on growing pennywort.

1. Soil planting

Pennywort can be planted in soil or hydroponically. To plant pennywort in a pot, plant it directly in the soil, in an ordinary flowerpot with drainage holes. Hydroponic pennywort is grown in water. It is better to plant pennywort in nutritious soil. We can use nutritious soil directly, or we can use leaf mold plus a certain amount of river sand to cultivate it.

2. Lighting

The pennywort is shade-tolerant but not light-tolerant. It should be placed in a semi-shaded or shaded place for daily maintenance, and strong light should be avoided in summer to avoid burning the leaves. The pennywort receives 4 to 6 hours of diffuse light every day, and the plant grows vigorously and the leaves are green and thick.

3. Watering

During the peak growth period of spring and autumn, pennywort needs to be watered about once every two days. In summer, water evaporates quickly, so watering is required every day, and appropriate spraying is also needed to increase humidity. In winter, water the plant about once every half a month, and be careful to control the amount of water.

4. Fertilization

Pennywort is a foliage plant. Nitrogen fertilizer is the main fertilizer, and potassium fertilizer should also be appropriately supplemented to facilitate root absorption. During the vigorous growth period of pennywort, fertilizer is generally applied every 2 to 3 weeks to promote the vigorous growth of the plant. After the formation period, there is no need to apply too much fertilizer. If too much fertilizer is applied, it will easily grow too tall and may even fall over.

5. Notes

The root system of the pennywort is well developed and dense, so control the amount of fertilizer and the concentration of fertilizer, otherwise it will easily burn the roots. There is no need for heavy pruning of the pennywort. Usually, you can just remove the dense, diseased, withered and bottom leaves, which can improve the light and ventilation conditions.

That’s it
