The shoots grow upright and are covered with numerous round, green leaves. If the pool is open at the top, they can also protrude from the water. The pennywort can also show its yellow flowers above the water, but not under water.
As a houseplant in a pot
As a pure houseplant, the pennywort is seldom planted. This may be because there are so many different houseplants on offer and the choice does not fall on this herb. We also got used to it as a Pond planting to admire that its existence as a houseplant seems somehow strange.
However, practical experience shows that the pennywort is also suitable for permanent living in rooms. Since it forms long shoots, it is ideal for planting a hanging basket. It is also possible to plant them together with other indoor plants, provided that they complement each other visually and match their needs.
Suitable location
In the room, the Pfennigkraut likes a shady location and not too high temperatures. For example, it thrives well on the west window. Lots of sun combined with a limited pot would all too easily create a dry environment that this plant doesn't like.
Maintenance required
Above all, the pennywort in the house must be kept moist at all times. The soil in the pot must never dry out. At the same time, no waterlogging should form. These are other parts of his care:
- regular Fertilize with a liquid fertilizer
- Cut back for denser growth or as a border
