A detailed guide to growing honesty (silver dollar plant): how to grow it, all in one article

HonestyAlso known as "large coin" and "golden flower", its round seed pods closely resemble ancient bronze coins, which is the main reason people like it; it originates from Eurasia. In Japan, it is called syntheticum, named after the person who brought it to Japan. At the same time, it is also very suitable for dried arrangements. Now let's look at how honesty is grown.

Optimal growing temperature:

Between 8 and 28 degrees. Its ability to withstand cold and heat is not strong, so in winter it should be kept indoors for growing, but in southern weather it can be kept in a room over winter. When summer temperatures are too high, cool it artificially; a small electric fan will do, or simply place it in an air-conditioned room to grow.

Necessity of sunlight:

In summer, besides the scorching sunlight, high temperatures are very unfavorable to its growth, so in summer it should be grown in a shaded spot, away from strong light. But apart from summer, in the other seasons let it grow in full sunlight; especially after September, sunlight is one of the indispensable factors for its growth. After September it can be done.

Water requirements:

If the pot is wet in summer, it can easily rot, and transplanting should not be chosen in summer. Slight humidity in the soil is somewhat unfavorable, and it will die on you. Just let the surface of the pot dry out. But after planting or transplanting, it should be watered.

Best propagation method:

Seed propagation; the seed propagation method is very simple, and you can keep it alive. After sowing, just keep the temperature at 15 to 20 degrees and water enough, and in about 1 day to 4 days it will sprout; the germination speed is very fast.
