Growth habits of copper coin grass

Copper coin grass is vigorous by nature, easy to plant, and fast to propagate, and it can grow both in water and on land.

Copper coin grass likes warmth and moisture and should be kept in partial shade; direct sunlight should be avoided. There is no restriction on the growing soil, but soft, well-drained growing soil is best, or it can be grown directly in water. The best growing temperature is 22~28°C.

Copper coin grass does not need a very large pot; it can also be grown in a larger bowl, and a shallower narcissus basin is fine. For soil, garden soil is generally used, mixed with an appropriate amount of river sand, and a small amount of organic fertilizer is added inside as a base fertilizer.

Copper coin grass is afraid of cold. For copper coin grass placed outdoors in winter, all the water can be poured out and it can be placed in a south-facing, sunny, wind-sheltered spot, where it can overwinter safely. However, in winter the leaves will gradually wither, and the underground roots will sprout again the following spring. In cold northern regions, if there is no heating, a cover can be used to cover it, the water poured out, and moisture kept; as long as the room temperature is not lower than 0°C, it will likewise continue to grow the following year.
