How to divide the copper coin grass

Time for dividing pennywort

Pennywort is a perennial creeping herb. Common varieties of pennywort include three-leaf pennywort and broken pennywort. Division is usually carried out in spring when the climate is mild, which is conducive to the growth and development of sub-plants and has a higher survival rate.

Method of propagation of copper coin grass by division

Choose healthy and mature pennywort with large leaves. Use scissors to cut the white roots of the selected plant, about 3-4 cm long, and fix them with loose special planting soil or other substrates. After transplanting, place them in a cool place. After 7 days, when new leaves grow out, gradually place them in a sunny place. Whether it is cutting propagation or division propagation, it is best to do it in the warm season.

Steps for dividing pennywort

The division propagation of pennywort is not limited to time or season and can be carried out at any time, and the survival rate of division propagation is relatively high.

1. Division time: The pennywort is usually divided in spring, when the temperature is stable at around 20 degrees. Division has a higher survival rate and can also help the sub-plants recover faster. The temperature in summer is too high, and the plants are prone to water loss after division, which will affect growth. The temperature in winter is low and the plants are prone to frostbite. If you want to divide the plants, you need to provide a warm environment.

2. Remove from the pot and separate: The pennywort needs to be removed from the pot before being repotted. If it is hydroponically grown, just separate a few clumps. If it is soil-grown, you can use sterilized scissors to separate them evenly. The connecting roots in the middle can be cut off. If there are no roots, you can apply a little rooting water, which will help the growth of new roots.

3. Planting and maintenance: Let the cut branches air-dry, then put them in pots. The soil can be prepared by mixing leaf mold, garden soil and sand. Fill in new soil and compact it lightly with your hands. After potting, keep them in a dark place to avoid sunlight. Water them appropriately to keep the soil moist, which is more conducive to the development of the sub-plants.

The pennywort has a strong adaptability to the environment. As long as it is provided with sufficient light and water, it can grow very fast. Don't rush to water it after division, and don't water it too much each time. It is best to spray water to keep it moist. At this time, the plant is relatively fragile and cannot be exposed to strong light.
