How to grow pennywort (moneywort)? Beginners can keep it alive easily with these few tricks

Pennywort is certainly no stranger to friends who love green plants, and it has many other names, such as creeping Jenny, moneywort, mirror grass, landed money, and so on. As a member of the Primulaceae family, pennywort has always been popular with everyone. Because it is easy to keep alive and easy to grow, it is the absolute top choice for hot sales at flower markets. So how do you grow pennywort? What are the points to note?

1. How do you grow pennywort?

Although pennywort is easy to keep alive, mastering scientific cultivation methods is even better for its subsequent growth. The editor has summarized the following points for you:

1. Choosing soil

Every green plant needs suitable soil for cultivation, which can both supplement nutrients and facilitate subsequent growth. Pennywort is fairly flexible in its soil choice; ordinary sandy soil or loam will do. The main thing is to ensure the soil's water absorption. Soil with strong water absorption can let pennywort grow faster. You can also find a professional gardener at the flower market to mix nutrient soil for cultivation.

2. Ensuring light

Light can be said to be the soul of green plants. Pennywort likes cloudy days and cannot be placed in direct sunlight. Generally, we can put it in the main hall at home or in a spot on the balcony with something to provide shade, so that it can both absorb nutrients and avoid the harm caused by direct sunlight.

3. Reasonable fertilizing

Many people wonder why other people's pennywort can quickly flourish and fill the pot, while their own keeps them waiting. This is closely related to fertilizing. Reasonable fertilizing can not only let pennywort absorb nutrients, but also quickly fill the pot. In summer, you can buy fertilizer at the flower market for top dressing, applying fertilizer about twice a month, and the amount can be decided according to the area of the flowerpot.

4. Controlling the amount of watering

The amount of watering can often decide the life or death of a green plant. This is not an exaggeration. When the temperature is relatively high in summer, you need to wipe the leaves of pennywort clean to avoid dust floating on them, then spray water to keep them moist, and water about twice a week. In winter, when the temperature is relatively low, you can choose to water once a week to maintain soil moisture, so that pennywort can always live in a warm and moist environment.

Everyone should keep these points firmly in mind, and the survival rate of pennywort will naturally increase.

2. Points to note when growing pennywort

1. Besides soil culture, pennywort can also be grown in water. Water-cultured pennywort mainly requires controlling the water amount, and either a water basin or a water pool can be chosen.

2. Pennywort is afraid of cold. During winter cultivation, whether water-cultured or soil-cultured, you must keep it warm and not put it outdoors to be exposed to cold wind. If there is warm winter sunlight, you can take it out for half a day and then move it back.

3. In view of the weather in the north, considering that pennywort finds it difficult to survive the cold winter, you can go to the flower market or make a wind shield yourself to cover it. Also, do not keep the home heating on for a long time, as it can easily cause water loss and drying out.

If everyone can remember the above points during cultivation, I believe you will surely get twice the result with half the effort. For green plants, besides scientific methods, what is more important is to care for them carefully with love.
