Growing copper coin grass and fish together in one pot, it filled the pot in less than half a month
Many flower lovers must be growing copper coin grass (Hydrocotyle vulgaris), right? This foliage plant stays evergreen all year round and is extremely easy to care for, and just like pothos it survives as soon as it meets water. Hydroponics, soil culture, and semi-water semi-soil culture all work! But even with such an easy-to-grow plant, plenty of people still grow copper coin grass with yellow leaves or even kill it. Of course, plenty of people also grow copper coin grass until it fills the pot! Next, I will share a little trick with you, and that is fish-plant symbiosis!
Why do many flower lovers like to grow copper coin grass together with goldfish in a flower pot? Because this is good for a "win-win"!
First: copper coin grass has strong vitality, and its root system grows in a very extensive way, so it can adapt to ordinary environments. Even being together with fish does not matter, and it does not affect its growth.
Second, whether copper coin grass grows fast or not depends entirely on whether the nutrients in the water are enough, and fish waste contains more trace elements, such as the nitrogen and phosphorus that plants need. To copper coin grass, these are all treasures~
Third, some people say that when copper coin grass and fish are grown together, the fish easily die, because the roots of copper coin grass compete with the fish for oxygen. This also makes some sense, but it does not mean the two cannot coexist. Experienced flower lovers solve it in two ways. The most common one is to change the water once every two days. That solves the problem of insufficient oxygen! Another way is to oxygenate the flower pot, but changing the water is still a bit easier.
Many flower lovers think copper coin grass is hard to grow, but that is because they have not found the right method. Fish-plant symbiosis is one way to make it fill the pot. In addition, to make copper coin grass quickly fill the pot, just remember one thing! And that is "full sun"!
Full sun is the easiest way to make copper coin grass fill the pot. Many flower lovers do not know this little trick, but I have truly found it works every time! Every time I divide out small copper coin grass, as long as I put it on the balcony in full sun, it will fill the pot within half a month. Of course, the premise is that you must give copper coin grass a sufficient growing environment. For example, the water quality must be clean, and every three days add a little potassium dihydrogen phosphate, which can prevent copper coin grass from developing yellow leaves.
In addition, some flower lovers use pond mud to grow copper coin grass and it also easily fills the pot. Next time I will share it with the flower lovers.
