The leaves are as big as lotus leaves

If you want the leaves to grow so big, the most important thing is to get more sun exposure

No matter how much nutrients there are in the room, it can't be transformed by photosynthesis. While the outdoor Pennisetum, fully exposed to the sun, absorbs nutrients quickly, and naturally grows much larger leaves

Therefore, if you have a yard at home, you'd better move the copper coin grass outdoors. If you live in a building, you should put it on the balcony, not indoors

We can learn from the practice of the great God. He planted copper coin grass in the semi Yin backyard, which is equivalent to the dongyangtai of the building. It's only about 6:30 in the morning when the sun shines directly

The great God also often collects fish water and rainwater for the irrigation of Pennisetum, which is also the reason why the leaves of Pennisetum grow very much

Soil culture grows well

Some people like hydroponics, but Pennisetum grows upside down and its leaves turn yellow because there is no nutrition in the water

In fact, soil culture is the best way to raise Pennisetum. If you don't dare to turn it into soil culture at once, you can also try half water and half soil

Steps:

1. Find a basin with no drain hole at the bottom, like the plastic basin shown in the figure below. Put about 2cm of sand or garden soil on the bottom of the basin. Don't use that kind of sticky loess. Otherwise, if you forget to water, it will dry into soil pimples and suffocate the copper coin grass

2. Cut the leaves of Pennisetum, put the root on the garden soil, and then cover it with a layer of sand

3. Add water, and the water level shall be 2cm away from the basin edge. Take it out in the sun. Don't be afraid of moss, because it's impossible for copperhead to grow well without the sun

In a week or so, Pennisetum grows very dense, and its branches and stems are very straight. Then you can add soil slowly until it is completely transformed into soil culture

Grow very slowly and shave your head

Someone's Pennisetum grows very slowly, as shown in the figure below. Because the leaves above are small and dense, the newly grown leaves below are suffocated

1. Leave 2cm above the edge of the basin, and then cut off all branches and leaves

2. Pull the root out of the basin and you will find that the root has grown very dense. The original nutrients in the soil are basically exhausted. Cut off the old roots and try not to touch the new tender white roots. They can be divided into many pots later

3. It is divided into three pots and watered once every morning and evening. Many new leaves soon appeared

4. Take a grain of compound fertilizer every five days and dilute it once. Within a month, it burst again

What to do after flowering

After it blooms, it consumes little nutrition. There will be yellow curling on the leaves, which will affect the beauty. Therefore, we should quickly dispose of the flower arrows

1. Find the arrow and cut it off

2. After cutting off, ensure sufficient water and light. Within 2 weeks, it can explode the basin, which is better than before

What if the leaves turn yellow

1. If individual leaves turn yellow, it may be normal metabolism. Just cut off the yellow leaves

2. If all the leaves turn yellow, we should pay attention to it. For hydroponics, you can change the water, dilute a little liquid fertilizer and pour it in. In other cases, you can turn the basin to see if the root is too developed. You can cut off the old roots and leaves
