Pennywort growing spindly and sparse? Just one little trick to make your pennywort thrive and grow strong
Pennywort has round, adorable leaves that look like ancient Chinese coins, symbolizing reunion and good fortune.
It is also fairly easy to grow - a cup or a plastic bottle at home is enough to produce a beautiful display. It is perfect for growing a pot on a windowsill; seeing those round, green leaves every day just makes you feel happy.
Pennywort grows quickly and establishes fast, so it is a favorite for courtyard water features. It is extremely adaptable, growing from aquatic conditions to dry land, and from strong light to weak light. If planted in a pond, it can quickly take over the environment, making it very hard for other plants to survive.
How to grow pennywort for free: find a few pennywort stems with roots - two or three nodes is enough (it can survive even without leaves) - plant them in the soil of a flower pot, water thoroughly, and they will sprout in about a week. You can also propagate them in water, and they will sprout just the same.
What is the little trick for making it fill the pot?
Although pennywort can be grown in water or in soil, if you want it to grow well and fill the pot, you can use the semi-soil semi-water method - that is when it really thrives!
If you want your pennywort to grow well, you can also pay attention to these two points:
1. Make sure it gets plenty of light:
Many people mistakenly think pennywort likes shade, but it is actually the opposite - it loves the sun very, very much. Except for the blazing summer sun, as long as there is no shortage of water, growers should let pennywort bask and bask and bask; the more sun it gets, the faster and more vigorously it grows.
2. Pay attention to fertilizing
Pennywort loves fertilizer very much. Homemade organic fertilizer, rice-washing water, slow-release fertilizer, and foliar fertilizer can all be used, but apply small amounts frequently - thin liquid fertilizer or slow-release fertilizer can be applied once a week.
Pennywort needs sufficient fertilizer, and it needs very rich fertilizer; every time you fertilize, you must apply enough.
If all the above conditions are met, how could you still worry that your pennywort will not grow well!
