Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris) is something many people love to grow, and most households have one. How to grow potted pennywort into a full, overflowing pot:

 1. Flower soil selection:

The flower soil used for pennywort should be a mix of leaf mold, river mud, and garden soil in a volume ratio of 0.5:2:2. Besides soil culture, it can also be placed in a small water basin for hydroponics. For hydroponics, note to change the water once a week, and some nutrient solution can be added to the water.

2. Top dressing:

Although pennywort has strong vitality and does not demand much from the environment, with fertilizer it can fill the pot more quickly. During the growing season, apply top dressing once every half month.

If it is hydroponics, fertilize sparingly, for example with Hyponex No. 2, which is a quick-acting compound fertilizer that can maintain fertility in water for a long time.

3. Watering:

Pennywort has many leaves, so transpiration is relatively high. Therefore, in hot summer, spray water on the leaves to increase humidity. The leaves should be wiped frequently to keep them clean, which is good for photosynthesis. Tap water should be left to stand for a few days before use. During the growing season, water once every 2 days.

4. Ambient temperature:

Although pennywort has strong adaptability and vigorous life, it is most afraid of cold. Therefore, in winter, pay attention to keeping it warm. As long as the room temperature is not lower than two degrees, it can grow again the next year. If it is hydroponics, the water temperature needs to be between 22-28 degrees.

That is all for the introduction to pennywort cultivation methods. Hurry up and make your own pennywort look even better.

Introduction to 8 potted plants suitable for growing on the balcony! Purify the air and beautify the balcony

With the improvement of living standards, many people like to grow some potted plants at home, which can purify the air while also adding a little pleasure to life. At home, the balcony is undoubtedly one of the most suitable places for growing potted plants. On one hand, sunlight is relatively abundant, and on the other hand, they are easier to care for. Imagine moving a lounge chair on a summer night, lying comfortably on the balcony, looking up at the starry sky, with a slightly cool breeze rolling in with the scent of flowers, and the sound of insects chirping by your ears. How pleasant! So, which potted plants are suitable for growing on the balcony? Let's take a look.

1. Pennywort

Pennywort has round leaves and very strong vitality. Whether grown in soil or hydroponically, its survival rate is very high. This should be an entry-level plant for many beginner flower growers, right? During care, note that pennywort is shade-tolerant, and half-day sunlight is best. However, if pennywort can receive 4-6 hours of scattered light every day, or be given 8-10 hours of artificial light, it will grow even better. If you want to save effort, you can use the half-soil, half-water cultivation method, which is simple and convenient. Just remember to add water to the pennywort, and that is enough.

2. Clivia

The most attractive part of Clivia is its neat leaves. For people with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, it is absolutely a healing remedy. During care, note that the nutrient flower soil for Clivia is mainly leaf mold, pine needles, and coarse sand. Soil prepared this way has good permeability, making Clivia less prone to root rot, and is rich in nutrients, suitable for the growth of Clivia. The specific ratio is: leaf mold 30%, pine needles 30%, coarse sand 20%, salt-free sunflower seeds (dry-fried and cooked) 10%, charcoal 5%, defatted bone meal 5%. When watering Clivia, water thoroughly. At home, the best way to water Clivia is the “pot soaking” method. That is, fill a large bucket with water, then put the Clivia in, allowing water to slowly seep in through the small holes at the bottom of the flowerpot. After the surface of the Clivia soil becomes wet, it can be taken out. When watering, everyone should also note not to pour water into the leaf core. If water accidentally enters the leaf core, immediately use highly absorbent paper or cotton to absorb the water. “Fertilizer does not leave water; apply fertilizer with water” means adding some diluted fertilizer along with the water each time you water, which is very beneficial to the vigorous growth of Clivia.

3. Suitable for placement indoors in bright light. It is even better if it can see several hours of sunlight indoors every day. Except for summer, full sunlight is fine in the other seasons!

Gardenia

Gardenia is more suitable for growing in the south, but if cared for well, it is not impossible to grow it in the north either. In the hands of experts, gardenias grow very well!

Care methods:

1. Soil. When cultivating, choose leaf mold, peat soil, or composted sawdust plus half garden soil. The soil must be breathable.

2. During the gardenia cultivation process, when the surface of the potting soil is dry, it needs watering. In the evening, a spray bottle can be used to sprinkle water on the leaf surface.

Money Tree

Money Tree, Money Tree, after growing a Money Tree you will produce lots and lots of money! Cough cough cough, Huahua is joking. Keeping a Money Tree at home is really just for the symbolism!

Care methods:

1. Light: the Money Tree is rather contradictory, liking light yet tolerating shade, so it is usually best to place the Money Tree in a bright living room~

Care methods:

1. Soil: use as little garden soil as possible. It is recommended to use relatively coarse granular peat mixed with some perlite, at a ratio of about 6:1. Peat has good water retention and fertility, is loose and breathable, and adding some perlite can further improve drainage and aeration.

3. Clematis likes fertilizer. Only with enough fertilizer can it bloom abundantly and beautifully! For winter fertilization, scrape off some of the surface soil from the flowerpot and pile on 2~5CM of new peat mixed with a large amount of organic fertilizer and bone meal. In spring and autumn, when temperatures are relatively high, you can use clean liquid fertilizer to water the soil or spray the leaves, just 2-3 times a month is enough. Stop fertilizing during the high-temperature period in summer.

4. Watering: there is nothing much to say. As long as the soil is prepared well, mastering the watering principle of "water when dry, stop when wet" is enough.

Periwinkle

Periwinkle, also called Vinca, blooms with small flowers, with complete five-petal flowers~ They look very neat, and the colors are also diverse, including purple, red, green...
