With copper coin grass at home, wealth rolls in. Just never grow it like this. Leaves like big lotus leaves, bursting out of the pot.
Copper coin grass (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) - just hearing the name makes people love it, and it also carries the meaning of wealth rolling in, how lovely. Copper coin grass is very easy to grow; it can be grown hydroponically, in soil, or in a half-water half-soil setup. So which method grows copper coin grass best? Actually, hydroponics is the worst way to grow it. Let us briefly explain the differences.
1. Hydroponics. Many friends like to put copper coin grass in an exquisite container, growing it hydroponically, and it looks very cute and adorable. But copper coin grass grown hydroponically will grow well in the early stage, then slowly grow more and more slowly, with leaves prone to turning yellow, drying out, and becoming small.
Because the nutrients in the water are too few, and it relies on capillary roots to absorb nutrients. The nutrient solution we add is simply not enough to supply the rapid growth of copper coin grass. The capillary roots cannot absorb nutrients and stay soaked in water for a long time, which leads to root rot and yellow leaves.
2. Soil culture
With soil culture, it generally grows very well, since the soil contains more nutrients. However, watering must be kept up. Copper coin grass fears water shortage the most. One instance of water shortage will turn part of the leaves yellow; several instances of water shortage will turn a large part of it yellow and wilted, seriously hurting its ornamental value. So we can grow copper coin grass in a half-water half-soil way.
3. Half water, half soil.
With this care method, it will neither lack water nor easily damage the roots. The roots will all be embedded in the soil, not easily damaged, and there is also enough moisture. You need to supplement a multi-element fertilizer twice a month, and give it more sunshine. Then copper coin grass will grow wildly, bursting out of the pot, with huge leaves, emerald green like big lotus leaves, bursting out of the pot every month.
