How to grow pennywort in water? Simple method to make the leaves big and shiny
Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) must be a very popular plant, with small and exquisite leaves, wavy edges, and it is very easy to keep alive, so how could it not win the favor of plant lovers! So today Huahua will tell everyone all about pennywort!
Pennywort is a plant that can be grown both in water and in soil, and of course, half water and half soil also works. The pennywort we usually buy from the flower market is soil-cultivated (when buying, remember to check it well and look at how healthy the leaves are). We can repot it and continue growing it in soil, or we can directly change it to water culture. Next, let's take a look at how to do it!
First, we need to prepare the container for water culture. We should also remember to let the water for water culture sit out in advance. Then we need to take the pennywort out of its original pot. If it is inconvenient, you can directly use scissors to cut the flowerpot open, which also makes it less likely to damage its root system. But during this process, be careful with your hands and do not get cut!
Because it has quite a lot of roots, we must be patient when sorting it out, gently clean off the soil, and do not break its roots because of rushing. Or, if the roots are too messy, you can directly rinse them clean with water, so that when it is put in water later, there will not be other impurities polluting the water quality!
Finally, we need to pour the water prepared in advance into the water culture container, and then we can put the pennywort into it. Because the stems and roots of pennywort are too soft and not easy to hold their shape, we can prepare a few cobblestones to help fix it in place.
The process of transferring pennywort from soil to water is completed just like this. As long as you are a little patient, it is still very simple. Then it can be placed in the sunlight for care, because in the sunlight, its leaves will become greener and greener, but remember not to let it receive direct sunlight! Also remember to check it regularly and then change the water, especially in summer. Do not wait until the water has already gone bad and smells before remembering to change it!
Of course, if you want to continue cultivating it in soil, that is also fine, but the most important thing for this cultivation method is the choice of soil. You must ensure the soil's breathability! Also, do not forget to water it, otherwise its stems will slowly droop and the leaves will turn yellow, but if you remedy it in time, it can still return to normal.
