What to do when the copper coin grass blooms

1. Will it bloom?

The pennywort is mainly a foliage plant, and many people have not seen its flowers. However, it sometimes blooms. Its flowers are very small and white-pink. After the flowers fade, they produce seeds.

2. Flowering period

Its flowering period is usually around April and lasts for a very short time. If you want to extend the flowering period, you can use fertilizer containing phosphorus. After the flowers fade, it will bear fruit. The fruiting period is around July.

3. The impact of flowering on plants

Its flowers are not very ornamental and have an unpleasant smell. Furthermore, some friends will find that after flowering, the leaves of the plant become smaller or even stop growing, which will affect the foliage viewing effect of the original plant. This is because the flowers consume some of the nutrients, leaving less nutrients for the leaves.

4. How to deal with flowering

Generally speaking, there are two approaches:

(1) You can ignore it and let it run. After flowering, it produces seeds. We can collect these seeds for reproduction. However, the success rate of seed propagation is relatively low.

(2) If you do not want to keep its flowers, you can simply cut off the flowers when they bloom. After cutting it off, there will be no seeds. If you want to propagate, you can use the cutting method, which has a relatively high success rate.
