A couple of days ago, a friend sent Huahua a picture - their copper coin grass (pennywort) had actually grown into a waterfall like a pothos! It was Huahua's first time seeing a copper coin grass waterfall, so stunning! So how exactly do you grow a copper coin grass waterfall? Come and take a look with Huahua!

How do you grow copper coin grass so it becomes a waterfall?

1. Pour some fish tank water on it, and copper coin grass becomes a carpet!

If you want the leaves of your copper coin grass to grow bigger and bigger, you can pour some fish tank water on it. Fish tank water contains leftover fish food and fish waste, and is very rich in nitrogen. Pour some on your copper coin grass and it will grow more and more vigorously!

2. Spray some diluted beer, and copper coin grass leaves grow as big as 8 coins!

If you want the leaves of your copper coin grass to grow bigger and bigger, you can take leftover beer, dilute it with water at a ratio of 1:50, put it in a spray bottle, and spray it on the leaves of the copper coin grass, and the leaves will grow bigger and bigger!

3. Mix in some compound fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer, and copper coin grass quickly fills the pot!

If you have compound fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer at home, you can toss a few granules of compound fertilizer into the pot, or grab a handful of slow-release fertilizer, to supplement nutrients for the copper coin grass, and it will quickly fill the pot!

4. Lots of water and lots of sun, and copper coin grass grows nonstop!

Copper coin grass loves light and water. Place the copper coin grass on a sunny south-facing balcony or south-facing windowsill, and water it about 1-2 times a day, and the copper coin grass will quickly fill the pot!

5. Cut immediately after flowering, and only then will copper coin grass grow more and more vigorously!

If you want copper coin grass to grow vigorously with big leaves, you must not let it bloom. If you see any flowers, cut them off immediately. If there are a lot of flowers, just cut it back completely, to avoid unnecessary nutrient consumption, and the leaves will grow bigger and bigger!

Only half-soil half-water copper coin grass can quickly fill the pot!

If you want copper coin grass to grow vigorously, besides water culture and soil culture, you can also use the half-soil half-water method to propagate it. Filling the pot and growing like crazy will be no problem at all!

1. Prepare a flower pot without drainage holes to use as the pot for growing copper coin grass. Because copper coin grass grows very fast in half-soil half-water, you can choose a slightly larger flower pot.

2. Sterilize and disinfect the nutrient soil. Soak the soil in water and stir it a few times, remove all the impurities and particles inside, then soak the soil in a potassium permanganate or carbendazim solution to sterilize and disinfect it.

3. Pour the disinfected soil into the flower pot, then bury the copper coin grass with roots in the soil, burying about 1/3 of the plant is enough. Just do not bury it too deep.

4. Add a layer of expanded clay pebbles on the very surface of the soil, in order to compact the soil. You can also sprinkle a handful of sand, then add some water, just enough to cover the expanded clay pebbles, and then place it in the sun for care.

5. Once the copper coin grass has grown more roots and become sturdy, you can remove the expanded clay pebbles. When watering, be careful to add clean water. If it is tap water, it is best to let it sit for 1-2 days to remove the chlorine before use. In basically less than 1 month, the copper coin grass will grow to fill the pot!

This is how you rescue copper coin grass so it goes from nearly dead to growing like crazy!


1. If the copper coin grass at home has been lacking water for a long time, the stems will droop completely. At this time you must rescue it quickly, otherwise it will be dead for sure!

2. Use the soaking method: put the water-deprived copper coin grass into a flower pot, and in only about 2 hours, the drooping copper coin grass will stand upright again!

3. If the stems and leaves of the copper coin grass have all dried up and cannot be saved, then find a pair of scissors and cut off the dried leaves and stems directly about 1-2 cm above the surface of the copper coin grass pot, commonly known as cutting it bald.

4. Place the copper coin grass that has been cut bald in direct sunlight, ensuring sufficient sunlight and water, and in basically half a month it can fill the pot again!
