Growing flowers at home decorates the home while also nurturing character. In the process of growing flowers, you can relax your body and mind and make onlookers feel joyful. As the saying goes, "Those who delight in flowers live long!" If you like growing flowers, you can choose copper coin grass (Hydrocotyle vulgaris). Its leaves are green, small and delicate, simple yet still beautiful and elegant!
If you like copper coin grass, grow it this way: the leaves will be as big as lotus leaves, filling a whole pot, so green they reflect light, full of lush greenery!
Hydroponic copper coin grass
Growing copper coin grass hydroponically is very simple. You only need to place it in a spot with plenty of sunlight and make sure there is water in the hydroponic container, and it will grow well. If you want it to grow fast and thrive, you should also occasionally spray it with nutrient solution so it quickly fills a pot.
Soil-grown copper coin grass
Compared with hydroponics, I prefer growing it in soil. I hold relatively traditional views and feel that soil is the foundation of all growth. Only then will the leaves be more glossy and as big as lotus leaves.
For growing copper coin grass in soil, the choice of soil is especially important. It is recommended to choose a loose, humus-rich, well-draining sandy soil. You can mix garden soil + leaf mold + river sand, with a ratio of 2:1:2
Likewise, whether hydroponic or soil-grown, it cannot do without light. It needs at least 4 hours of sunlight per day to grow vigorously. Also pay attention to ventilation.
Moreover, copper coin grass loves water very much. During the growing period, it needs to be watered once a day to keep the soil moist. You can use rainwater, river water, or well-fermented rice water. If using tap water, it needs to sit for 2 days. This can make the leaves glossy green!
It relatively likes fertilizer. During the growing period, it is recommended to apply a dilute nitrogen fertilizer once every 10 days to promote growth, which can make the leaves as big as lotus leaves, emerald green and lush, quickly filling a pot! Before the flowering stage, it is recommended to spray a potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution to promote flowering.
Copper coin grass is especially easy to propagate. As long as there are roots, plant them in soil, or place them in water, and they will sprout in 7 days!
Copper coin grass has the beautiful meaning of "fortune, prosperity, joy, longevity, tenacity and resilience," and it also symbolizes wealth. Friends who like copper coin grass, hurry up and grow it!
