Half a month after buying the pennywort, it had only been watered and not fertilized, and it dried out several times in between. After a month of growing the pennywort like this, why does it look so wilted? Because the pennywort you just bought has yellow mud in it, which is very hard and also lacking in nutrients. If fertilizer is not added in time, nutrient deficiency will occur

The root system of pennywort grows very fast, but it cannot penetrate into the yellow mud. No matter how much you fertilize and water, the compacted soil will still block the roots from absorbing nutrients. After a few more times of water shortage, the pennywort will naturally become wilted, develop yellow leaves, and even have smaller leaves. So that is the reason. How should we treat it then?

Cut off all the yellow leaves, keep only the root system, and you can also divide the plant. Put the rhizomes into a larger pot, cover with a thin layer of soil, and replace the yellow mud with loose, breathable soil to make it easier for the roots to take hold. Fertilize two to three times a month, applying light fertilizer frequently, and do not let it lack water. Pennywort is a plant that loves water, and it also needs more sun. This way, the pennywort will turn so green it looks black
