Pennywort is a plant that easily runs wild and fills its pot. Many people started with just one small seedling and ended up with whole patches of pennywort! If your neighbor has pennywort, don't buy any - just ask for one small seedling, and that is enough to fill your pot.

The leaves of pennywort are round like little lotus leaves, and also like ancient Chinese copper coins, symbolizing reunion and abundant wealth, so it is naturally favored by plant lovers. Keeping a pot of pennywort at home is not only auspicious but also very pleasing to the eye; paired with a rustic flower pot, it looks quite artistic.

-Pennywort care-

For the soil, just use ordinary garden soil; do not use peat, as it will float up and look dirty. Plant lovers who like things clean can also sprinkle a little sand or small pebbles, and the water will quickly become very clear. Occasionally add some nutrient solution, and the leaves will be big and round. Some impatient plant lovers toss in 2-3 granules of urea, and it fills the pot very quickly too (be sure to use very little at first; too much will cause fertilizer burn).

Some plant lovers simply plant it on the fish tank filter, where plenty of water and nutrients make it grow fast!

With plenty of water, fertilizer and sun, it easily fills the pot!

-What to do when pennywort blooms?-

Pennywort flowers bloom from April to October. If you notice your pennywort flowering at home, remember to cut them off. These small flowers are not only unattractive but also have a faint foul smell; when there are many flowers, it gets quite smelly! They also consume the plant's nutrients, causing pennywort to grow slowly after flowering.

After cutting them off, you can put a few granules of slow-release fertilizer in the water to help the pennywort recover its growth!

Looking at it this way, isn't growing pennywort just too easy?
