Japanese Pennywort Seeds - Flower, 20 seeds

Quantity: 20 Seeds / pack

Japanese Pennywort is a low, creeping plant with small, rounded, clover-like leaves that form a soft green carpet. It is most often grown in terrariums, paludariums, and aquariums, or as a moisture-loving groundcover in warm, humid spots — valued for its foliage rather than its tiny, inconspicuous flowers.

Why choose our seeds?

• Delicate, creeping foliage that carpets moist soil or terrarium floors
• A natural fit for aquariums, terrariums, and humid indoor plantings
• Low, spreading habit that fills in around other moisture-loving plants

How to grow Japanese Pennywort seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Sow in a shallow tray or directly into the terrarium or container where it will grow.
• Outdoors: Sow in a warm, sheltered, consistently moist spot after frost.

Prepare Your Materials

• Shallow tray, terrarium, or container
• Moisture-retentive, well-draining mix
• Clear cover or humidity dome to hold moisture
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface-sow the tiny seeds on moist mix and press gently for contact; do not bury them.
• Mist well and cover to keep humidity high.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun on young seedlings.
• Temperature: 70–75°F (21–24°C); warmth and humidity favor sprouting.
• Humidity: Keep the surface constantly moist and the air humid.

Germination

• Germination is slow and uneven; keep conditions steady and do not let the surface dry out.
• Ventilate briefly if mold appears, then re-cover.

Transplanting

• Move small clumps with their root mass intact once they form a mat.
• Set plants close together — about 2–4 inches apart — so they knit into a carpet.

Care Tips

• Sun: Bright indirect light, or partial shade outdoors.
• Water: Keep the soil consistently moist; this plant dislikes drying out.
• Fertilizer: Very light feeding only, if at all.
• Trim runners to keep the planting neat and to encourage denser growth.

Bloom Time:

Grown for its foliage; any flowers are tiny and insignificant, so bloom timing is not a feature of this plant.
