The more the pennywort grows, the more vigorous it gets, all because the wife waters it with rice water every day

Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris), as a very easy-to-grow foliage houseplant, is also very popular among flower lovers. This plant is super simple to care for, and normally needs no fertiliser, much like growing a pothos. Just water it and give it a bit of sunlight!

There are also little tricks to growing pennywort. Although it is easy to manage and care for, it still needs to be grown with care. In daily care, if you master the tricks of care, won't it grow even better? Next, let's briefly share the tricks for caring for pennywort.

The trick is to water it with "rice water".

How can rice water be used to water pennywort? At first, I didn't quite believe it either. It wasn't until my wife watered it with fermented rice water every day that we found this thing grew greener and greener, not a single yellow leaf, and it even grew taller. The leaves also grew from the original 3-5 cm to 8-9 cm.

In fact, after researching it, we found that rice water contains some trace elements. It has been confirmed that the surface of rice contains potassium, and potassium is a substance necessary for plants to carry out photosynthesis. In addition, fermented rice water poured into pennywort can also let the roots quickly absorb the nutrients left in the rice grains, promoting well-developed roots.

Watering pennywort with rice water also has some particular requirements. For example, rice water must first be fermented before use. According to the experience summed up by many flower lovers, fermenting rice water is very simple: first, after washing the rice, put the filtered water into a mineral water bottle, leave the cap slightly loose, and place it in the sun. Generally, it finishes fermenting in about a week. Then you can use it directly~

Besides watering pennywort with rice water as just mentioned, if you want it to quickly fill out the pot, you must remember two points in care, namely: "more water" and "more light". Only sufficient sunlight and moisture can make pennywort grow quickly, and even bloom.
