Copper money grass, also known as mushroom grass, is a perennial wet herbaceous crop. The leaves of copper money grass are round and have very strong vitality. The survival rate is very high whether it is grown in soil or hydroponically. Moreover, the underground rhizomes of the copper money grass grow rapidly, and new roots and leaves can be formed at each node, and small yellow-green flowers can bloom in summer and autumn. The roots, stems and leaves of Copperwort can be eaten as vegetables and have the functions of clearing away heat, dehumidification, diuresis and detoxification. Here is a detailed introduction to how to grow Copperhead:

1. Soil: Copperwort does not have strict soil requirements. Whether it is yellow loam, red loam or black loam, it can grow even on poor soil. However, its drought resistance is not strong and it is most suitable for growing in fine, acidic, moist, and low-fertility loam. Coppermoney grass is suitable for cultivation in fertile and loose soil with large water absorption and good water retention. It can also be cultivated in moist riverbanks, swamps, grasslands or fresh water with low hardness. Cultivation soil can be prepared by mixing rotten leaves, river mud and garden soil in a ratio of 5:2:2.

2. Fertilization: Copperwort requires more fertilizer. During the vigorous growth stage, Copperwort needs top-dressing fertilizer every 2 to 3 weeks. If planted in pots or containers, a small amount of fertilizer is required, such as quick-acting fertilizer Huabao No. 2, which can maintain the fertilizer effect for a long time in the water, as long as the water quality is slightly acidic or neutral.

3. Watering: Copperwort likes a relatively humid growth environment. Because it has many leaves and a large amount of transpiration, water should be sprayed on the plants frequently in summer to maintain high air humidity. The leaves should be kept clean to facilitate photosynthesis. In winter, it is advisable for the pot soil to be dry. When watering, follow the principle of preferring wetness to dryness. Avoid water accumulation, otherwise the roots will easily rot. Tap water in the north needs to be left in the sun for 1 to 2 days before use. Water once every 2 to 3 days during the growth period to keep the pot soil moist. Water cultivation: Change the water once every 7 to 10 days in spring and summer, and change the water once every half month in autumn and winter. If growing in water, be sure to change the water once a week and add a special nutrient solution for foliage plants. If soil culture is used, water must be retained for a long time. Water should be poured once every morning, and the water should not be too much. The degree of water flowing out of the bottom hole is enough to ensure that the pot soil is soaked.

4. Temperature: Copperwort likes a warm and humid environment, but is not cold-tolerant. It grows well in a temperature environment of 10 to 25°C. In summer, it will stop growing when the temperature rises above 32°C. In winter, the temperature Not lower than 5℃. Copperwort is shade-tolerant, preferably in half-sun or shaded areas. Avoid strong direct sunlight. The more shady the environment, the more likely it is to cause plant leaf rot. The copper money grass does not deserve glory, but if the copper money grass receives 4 to 6 hours of scattered light every day, or gives it 8 to 10 hours of artificial light, the copper money grass will grow better.

Notes: (1) It likes warm and high temperatures, and 80% of the sunshine is appropriate. Insufficient light or excessive shade will cause the stems to grow elongated and the leaves to turn yellow and rot. It is necessary to use a medium with good water retention and Keep moisturized. The amphibious copper money plant is commonly found in aquatic ponds, wetlands and other spaces, and is also suitable for water trays and aquariums. (2) Coppergrass generally does not require extensive pruning. When the leaves are too dense, the withered bottom leaves and outer old leaves and diseased leaves need to be removed in time to improve lighting and ventilation conditions. In spring, when the pot is full of roots, change the pot and divide the plants for reshaping. If the plant grows too high, it should be pruned down to encourage new branches to sprout at the base of the stems and leaves. (3) Copperwort, which likes sunshine and water, can be grown in hydroponics, soil, or half water and half soil. Its leaves are round, very cute, and it is very easy to grow. In short, you can do it however you want. It does not compete for fertilizer, but It likes light and water. As long as there is enough light and water, it will be full of vitality.
