How to grow pennywort? A detailed explanation of its characteristics and cultivation methods

The pennywort I brought home from grandma's house was especially beautiful, but after just one winter, although my pennywort is still alive, why does it no longer look as good as when I first bought it? Now the leaves are very small, the shape is not attractive either, and it has bloomed many small white flowers. So how should I grow this pennywort of mine?

Below, the editor has compiled some information on different cultivation questions for everyone's reference!

1. Last month I replanted the pennywort at home. The previous leaves were yellow and small, and there were only tall and short stems. I dug up a bit of the black pine needle soil from under the roots of a pine tree on the hill, found a relatively wide and short basin that does not hold water, spread a thicker layer of soil, picked off all the pennywort flowers and leaves, and also removed the rotten and old roots. I coiled the roots around on the soil circle by circle, coiling them a bit evenly until fully covered, then sprinkled on a thin layer of soil, just enough to cover the roots. I added plenty of water until the soil in the basin would not float up, then placed it in the sun. The stronger the sun, the better; ideally 12 hours of sun a day. It needs ventilation. Check often, and when the surface of the soil is dry, spray a little water. In half a month, new leaves grew, and the new leaves were green and shiny.

2. Many people grow it as a water plant, but in fact some water plants all grow better in soil than in water, and pennywort is the same. You can plant it in soil, then give it plenty of sunlight but not exposure to blazing sun, water it once in the morning and once in the evening, and when fertilizing, use a mild fertilizer.

3. Just shallowly bury the roots in ordinary garden soil, then add water so the soil preferably becomes muddy; it should be neither dry nor wet. If it is too wet with too much water, the roots rot easily. A place with good scattered light and ventilation is enough.

4. For something like pennywort, cut off stems with more than 2 nodes, bury them in soil, then place a dish under the pot. Do not let the dish run out of water, and the higher the temperature, the better. If it is fast, it can grow into a full pot in a week, in a month it can make you collapse, and after two months it can make you want to throw it away completely.

5. Directly dividing off some in half water and half soil will make it grow very fast. I divided and planted mine last week, and this week it has already grown many leaves.
