When is the best time to plant copper coin grass? How to plant copper coin grass

1. Planting time

The planting time of pennywort is generally in spring, usually concentrated in March to May. The climate at this time is relatively warm, which is very suitable for seed rooting and seedling growth. If it is in summer, the high temperature and light can easily cause it to get sunburned, so it is not advisable to do so. Planting in autumn will face the problem of overwintering, and the growth of seedlings can be easily affected.

2. Seed Soaking and Germination

Before preparing to sow pennywort, the seeds must be soaked to germinate, which can greatly increase the germination rate. Place the seeds in a container and pour in an appropriate amount of water to cover them. If the temperature is not high, wrap them with plastic wrap to keep them warm. Change the water frequently and place it in a cool and ventilated place. It will usually germinate after a few days.

3. Soil Preparation

When planting pennywort, use loose and fertile soil. Although the plant is not very demanding on the soil, good permeability is very helpful for the breathing of the roots and can also prevent water accumulation. Generally, a mixture of 5 parts of leaf mold, 2 parts of garden soil and 2 parts of river mud is used. This can also provide nutrients for the plants, and the slightly acidic environment is also conducive to development.

4. Seeding and maintenance

After preparing the potting soil, you can start planting. Sprinkle the pennywort seeds on the soil surface, cover it with a layer of fine soil, and water it appropriately to keep it moist. After sowing, place it in a semi-shaded place to avoid sunlight, while ensuring good ventilation. After germination, you can increase the light appropriately and apply fertilizer appropriately.
