Growing pennywort this way in May makes it fill the pot so easily, with every leaf emerald green and dewy fresh

Keeping a potted plant at home can decorate your surroundings, lift your spirits, nurture a hobby, and make life more colorful. Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) is a very popular green plant. To care for pennywort in May, this is how you should do it: lots and lots of "coin coins" growing, filling the pot so easily, with every leaf emerald green and dewy fresh!

Pennywort can be grown in water or in soil, each with its own advantages. Let's take a look together below!

Water culture

For pennywort grown in water, water is the foundation of its growth, and the quality of the water determines how well it grows. So usually make sure the water is clean and hygienic, and also make the water nutrient-rich, so as to provide better growing conditions for the pennywort.

For pennywort grown in water, simply submerge the roots completely in water. In summer, change the water once a week. Tap water is recommended, but let it sit for two to three days before use, otherwise it contains a lot of chlorine and bleaching powder, which is bad for the pennywort's growth and easily causes yellowing and dropping of the leaves.

For pennywort grown in water, you can occasionally add a few drops of nutrient solution, which makes the water rich in nutrients, so the "coin coins" grow more and the leaves become even more dewy and emerald green.

Pennywort grown in water often develops yellow leaves too. Its roots are very well developed and multiply very quickly. If the root system grows too densely, the leaves can also easily turn yellow and wither, so trim the roots regularly to give the roots enough room to grow.

Soil culture

For pennywort grown in soil, the soil is naturally very important, as soil is the foundation that supports the pennywort's growth. So when choosing soil, pick one that is fertile, breathable, and well-draining. This lets the pennywort's roots breathe freely, improves drainage, and keeps the root system well developed, so the leaves naturally will not turn yellow.

Pennywort grown in water cannot do without light, and the same goes for pennywort grown in soil. You need to place the pennywort in a bright spot with indirect light, and you can also occasionally place it in a semi-shaded environment. When the light is too strong, it will scorch the leaves and cause them to turn yellow, directly affecting the ornamental effect.

Water is also very important. In the current season, it is recommended to water once a day to keep the soil moist, so the pennywort grows more and more vigorously and the leaves keep growing, becoming even more glossy and emerald green.

Caring for pennywort is really quite simple, isn't it?
