Is it better to grow pennywort in water or soil?

1. Advantages and disadvantages of soil cultivation

The pennywort is a swamp plant that grows by the water, so it can grow in both submerged environments and slightly arid environments. It can be grown hydroponically or in soil, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. The soil-grown pennywort grows more luxuriantly and has more nutrients, so its leaves are larger and have more branches.

The disadvantage is that due to the poor air permeability of soil cultivation, the center of the potted plants often does not grow densely enough, while the edges of the pots have good air permeability, so they grow denser.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of hydroponics

The hydroponic copper coin grass is heavy, and the ornamental effect of the flowerpot is usually relatively poor. Moreover, the water that seeps out of the drain every time you water it will carry dirt and may pollute the home. Hydroponics does not have these problems. The transparent or opaque hydroponic containers can be made very beautifully. Since there is no soil inside, you only need to add water each time, and it will not overflow with dirty substances.

Because the nutrient content of the water in the hydroponic culture of pennywort is insufficient, the volume and leaf color of the hydroponic culture are usually not as good as those in the soil. Therefore, whether you want to grow it in the soil or in the hydroponic culture, you should choose these two methods according to your own situation and preferences, and both methods can be used for cultivation.
