If we want to use potted plants or hanging pots for cultivation, it is best to ensure its water source for a long time.

1. The water quality requirements of the copper coin grass are not very strict. It can be well cultivated in fresh water with low hardness. The salinity of fresh water cannot be too high. The water body should be slightly acidic or neutral. Although it is not strict about water quality, it has a relatively large demand for fertilizers. It needs to be top-dressed every 2-3 weeks during the vigorous growth stage. If it is used in potted plants or containers, the amount of fertilizer needs to be reduced.

2. The pennywort also likes an environment with plenty of sunlight. An overly shady environment will result in poor growth for it. It will grow very well in a full-sun environment, and in half-sun, its petioles will be longer and will grow in the direction of light. If its posture is slightly adjusted, it will be more beautiful. It is best for it to receive 4-6 hours of scattered light every day, or give it 8-10 hours of artificial light every day, and the plant can grow normally. Its habit is to like warmth and fear cold. It will grow very well in the temperature range of 10-25 degrees. Even the wintering temperature cannot be lower than 5 degrees. Under good management conditions, it will not be prone to disease and will not be easily attacked by harmful animals.

This kind of plant is perennial, so it sprouts quickly and takes shape relatively quickly. If it is not repotted, the formed plant cannot be planted continuously for more than 2 years, otherwise its growth will become weaker and weaker.

3. Because it likes warm and humid environment, it is best to place it in semi-sunlight or shade when cultivating it. It hates direct sunlight and is not too picky about the cultivation soil. Loose and well-drained cultivation soil is the best. The most suitable water temperature for it is 22-28 degrees. It can tolerate shade, moisture and drought, so it has strong adaptability and can be used as both amphibious and aquatic.

Precautions for soil cultivation of copper coin grass

If we find that its leaves are starting to turn yellow, we need to look for the reasons from the following points.

It was not watered thoroughly, or water seeped into the basin; it was exposed to the cold in winter and its roots were frozen; it was quickly placed outdoors in a warm place under direct sunlight after the winter, making it unable to adapt to the sudden change in climate; the soil in the basin was too wet or too dry for a long time, and the principle of watering it when it was dry was not followed; finally, it may have been placed in an environment with poor ventilation for a long time.

You should know that those that have just been transplanted will appear sickly, but after a period of care, they will quickly adapt to the new environment and grow wildly.
