Flower lovers, have you learned it? Now let's share some other pennywort care tips

1. Pennywort likes a semi-shaded, humid growing environment and is not suited to strong direct sunlight. Especially in summer, it should not be exposed to the scorching sun. Placed in a suitable environment, it will grow vigorously, with large, plump leaves and thick blades

2. Tap water in the north should be left in the sun to stand for 1-2 days before use. During the growing season, water once every 2-3 days to keep the potting soil moist. For water culture, change the water once every 7-10 days in spring and summer, and once every half month in autumn and winter.

3. If pennywort is not cared for properly, it can also show yellowing and withering leaves. Use scissors to promptly remove the rotten and yellowed leaves to keep it looking nice. To ensure its leaves have sufficient nutrients, if flower stems appear they need to be cut off, and don't let it bloom.
