Copper money grass is a perennial ground-covering herbaceous plant, also known as broken copper money grass, Jiangxi money grass, money grass, white-haired coriander, etc. It is a single-leaf plant with roots growing on it. The whole plant can be used as medicine.

So, do you know how to grow copper money grass in hydroponics? What are the precautions? Let’s find out together below.

Cultivation method of hydroponic copper money grass 1. Soil selection for copper money grass cultivation Copper money grass is not strict on soil requirements, whether it is yellow loam, red soil or black soil, it can even be grown on barren soil grow out.

However, its drought resistance is not strong and it is most suitable for growing in fine, acidic, moist and low-fertility loam.

Copper money 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 river banks, 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 method for copper money grass cultivation. Copper money grass has a large demand for fertilizer. During the vigorous growth stage, copper money grass should be top-dressed every 2 to 3 weeks.

If you plant it in a pot or container, you need to apply a small amount of fertilizer, such as the quick-acting fertilizer Huabao No. 2, which can maintain the fertilizer effect for a long time in the water, so long as the water quality is slightly acidic or neutral.

3. Watering methods for copper money grass cultivation Copper money grass 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.

It is better to keep the pot soil on the dry side in winter. When watering, follow the principle of preferring to be wet rather than dry. Avoid water accumulation, otherwise the roots will easily rot.

Tap water in the north should 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.

For water cultivation, change the water once every 7 to 10 days in spring and summer, and once every half month in autumn and winter.

If you grow in water, you must 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 once every morning. 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 requirements for copper money grass cultivation. Copper money grass likes a warm and humid environment, but is not cold-tolerant. It grows well in a temperature environment of 10 to 25°C. It will stop when the temperature rises above 32°C in summer. For growth, the temperature in winter should not be lower than 5℃.

5. The lighting requirements for copper money grass cultivation require that copper money grass is shade-tolerant, preferably in half-sun or shaded areas, and avoid strong direct sunlight. The more shady the environment, the easier it is to cause plant leaves to 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.

6. Methods for preventing and controlling diseases and insect pests in copper money grass cultivation Copper money grass has very few pests and diseases.

It has strong growth adaptability and does not require deliberate care.

After planting for a period of time, the copper money grass will fill the entire container.

Frequently spray water on the leaves to clean them to keep them green and shiny.

After intensive growth, you should pay attention to ventilation, otherwise the plants will easily turn yellow.

Precautions for cultivating copper money grass (1) It likes warm and high temperatures, and 80% of the sunshine is suitable. Insufficient light or excessive shade will cause the stems to grow elongated and the leaves to yellow and rot. You need to use plants with good water retention. Medium and always moisturize.

The amphibious copperhead 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 and lowered to encourage new branches to sprout at the base of the stems and leaves.

(3) Copperwort, which likes sunshine and water, can be cultivated in water, soil, or half water and half soil. The leaves are round, very cute, and very easy to grow. In short, you can grow them however you want. OK, it doesn't compete for fat, but it likes light and water. As long as there is enough light and water, it will be vigorous.

(4) Coney grass does not need a large pot. It can also be planted in a larger bowl, such as a narcissus pot.

When planting, it can be planted flatly. It is better to cover the roots and stems so that they are not visible. Avoid going too deep.

Then put it in a semi-shady place for a week until new leaves grow and see the sun again.

(5) The leaves of copper money grass sometimes turn yellow, mainly due to the following reasons, which should be avoided as much as possible.

First, the pot soil has been too wet or too dry for a long time, and watering as soon as it is dry is not done.

The second is that the root system has been frostbitten in winter.

The third is the rush to leave the house in spring, and the copper money grass cannot adapt to the sudden change of climate.

The fourth is to be placed in an environment with poor ventilation conditions for a long time.

Fifth, if the leaf surface is not sprayed with water for a long time, dust accumulates and hinders photosynthesis.

(6) If it is found that the new leaves are generally yellowing, you can spray compound fertilizer based on nitrogen fertilizer on the leaves.

When sphagnum moss appears on the roots or in the water, clean it and change the water immediately, otherwise it will be detrimental to the growth of the plant and affect the ornamental quality. You should pay more attention to whether the water in the container is sufficient to avoid drying out.
