Growing pennywort on the balcony: do two things well, and the leaves will be green and round, and the flower pot will be bursting at the seams!

When growing pennywort, you must pay attention to two things: plenty of water and plenty of sun. If you want pennywort to grow well, you absolutely cannot do without these two things.

When growing pennywort in summer, watering once a day is essential. Whether grown in soil or in water, pennywort's leaves stay emerald green and firm, round and smooth, and it cannot lack water, otherwise the leaves will wilt from lack of water.

Moreover, you must ensure sufficient light. The more sufficient the light, the more chlorophyll can be synthesized, making the leaves even more emerald green and glossy, round and large, bursting out of the flower pot. If placed in a dark environment for a long time, the leaves will turn yellow, and become small and shriveled, with very poor ornamental value.

Of course, besides light and water, you also need to pay attention to supplementing nutrients!

Especially during pennywort's peak growing season, apply organic fertilizer 2 to 3 times, such as mahjong residue, soybean cake fertilizer, rapeseed fertilizer, decomposed chicken manure, decomposed human feces and urine, etc. All of these can provide it with enough nutrients, making it grow even more vigorously.

If none of the above fertilizers are available, you can also bury a few cooked soybeans in the soil. Soybeans are a common food in daily life, ready to hand, and can also provide nutrients, making the leaves round and large. Just bury them once every 30 days!

Moreover, when growing pennywort in soil, when potting it up, add a sufficient amount of organic base fertilizer to the potting soil. This can make pennywort's roots grow strong and make it easier to have lush foliage!
