How to grow pennywort so that its leaves can grow big and burst out of the pot?

As the seasons progress, the climate gradually becomes warmer and more pleasant, providing excellent conditions for the growth of various plants and flowers. For friends who have already planted pennywort , if they can provide proper care, such as watering in moderation, ensuring sufficient sunlight and good ventilation, the leaves of the pennywort will grow lushly and the number will increase accordingly. Let’s learn in detail how to grow pennywort so that its leaves can grow big and fill the pot.

1. Lighting

The pennywort prefers plenty of sunlight, especially warm and gentle daylight. The more sunlight it gets, the greener and glossier its leaves become, and the more luxuriant its growth becomes. In contrast, the leaves of pennywort in indoor environments are often smaller and less full due to the lack of direct sunlight. Therefore, moving the pennywort outdoors or to a terrace in spring to ensure it receives at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight is key to promoting good growth.

2. Moisture

The copper coin grass has a high demand for water and prefers a moist soil environment. If the soil is dry and lacks water, the stems of the pennywort will become soft and the leaves may dry up. Timely and sufficient watering can quickly restore its vitality. Especially in spring and summer, the pennywort's demand for water is more urgent. It almost becomes a "big bucket" and needs frequent replenishment of water.

3. Fertilizer

Given the rapid growth rate of pennywort, adequate fertilizer is necessary to support its continued growth. You can use organic fertilizers such as fermented leaf soil, pine needle soil or cake fertilizer, add it to the pot regularly, or use fermented liquid fertilizer, dilute it and apply it once every ten days to promote the growth of its leaves, making them wider and greener.

4. Notes

For soil-grown pennywort, use an ordinary flower pot with drainage holes. In order to make it grow quickly and fill the pot, you can apply sufficient base fertilizer to the bottom of the pot, but make sure to use well-rotted organic fertilizer. At the same time, maintain sufficient light and timely supply of water. For hydroponic pennywort, you can choose a transparent glass bottle or decorative cup, fill it with clean water and put the bare roots of the pennywort in it. If necessary, add some small stones to stabilize the plant. Hydroponic pennywort also requires sufficient light and good ventilation, and regular addition of nutrient solution. Although its growth rate may not be as fast as soil cultivation, it is easier to care for.

In general, as long as the above points are done well, the pennywort potted plant can grow vigorously and quickly reach the effect of bursting the pot. Its leaves will grow large and green, greatly improving its ornamental value.
