Why does the coin grass turn yellow when it is being cultivated?
If you want to know why coin grass turns yellow when being cultivated and the small green plant maintenance tips for rescuing yellowing and withering coin grass, the editor below will provide you with detailed answers.
In the past, the editor often recommended coin grass to "lazy" plant enthusiasts because coin grass is very easy to grow and can survive just by being thrown into water, but then I saw the coin grass cultivated by a certain enthusiast...
In the eyes of the editor, coin grass definitely belongs to the top ten on the "tenacious plant ranking." However, such a tenacious coin grass can still turn yellow and sparse, indicating it must have suffered a lot of "hardships"!
Alright, now let's get to the main point. The editor has compiled some key points for cultivating coin grass. Are the plant enthusiasts doing anything wrong?
Key Point One: Light
Coin grass has a certain degree of shade tolerance and can also grow when placed indoors or in shaded areas for a short period of time. However, not seeing the sun for a long time will cause it to become thin, yellow, and unhealthy! If possible, it's best to place it in a well-lit area like a balcony, and if it must be placed indoors, remember to expose it to sunlight regularly!
Key Point Two: Soil or Water Quality
Coin grass does not have high requirements for soil and water. If choosing soil cultivation, fertile soil is good, but ordinary potting soil will also do if there isn't any; if choosing water cultivation, freshwater with low salinity and hardness is fine!
Key Point Three: Fertilizer
Perhaps because everyone thinks coin grass is very easy to grow and can survive on its own, the need to fertilize coin grass is often overlooked. Indeed, coin grass can grow without fertilizer, but there is still a significant difference in results. Fertilized coin grass has large and green leaves with sturdy stems, while not fertilizing may result in thin, dark yellow leaves.
Why does coin grass turn yellow when it is being cultivated?
It is best to fertilize coin grass every two months, choosing either commercial nutrient solutions or homemade ones, with the main focus being on supplementing nitrogen.
Key Point Four: Water
Many coin grasses are cultivated using water culture, which shows how much they need water.
If cultivating in soil, it should be watered frequently to keep the soil constantly moist. If you are unsure when to water, just touch the soil; if it is still moist, there is no need to water, but if it feels slightly dry, you should water it promptly!
