Cultivation method of Portulaca grandiflora

soil

When growing Purslane, it is recommended that you choose dry sandy soil. If you want to plant Purslane in the courtyard, it is best to choose a dry place with higher terrain and less water accumulation, which is more suitable for the growth of Purslane.

illumination

Purslane prefers a sunny growing environment. Therefore, whether it is potted or planted in the ground, you must choose a place with sufficient light. If there is insufficient light, it will cause flowering, so you must pay special attention.

Water and fertilizer management

Portulaca grandiflora can tolerate drought but cannot stand waterlogging. Therefore, during daily maintenance, pay attention to drainage and remember not to allow water accumulation to cause root rot. In addition, although Purslane is drought-resistant, you still need to be careful not to suffer from long-term water shortage. Because Portulaca grandiflora has strong resistance, you don't need to apply too much fertilizer. If you want the plant to grow better, you can apply decomposed thin fertilizer once every 7-10 days.

Precautions

Portulaca grandiflora is afraid of waterlogging and cannot tolerate shade. Therefore, low-lying waterlogged areas and shady places are not suitable for its growth. Don’t forget to move potted purslane indoors in winter. As long as the temperature remains above 10 degrees Celsius, you can enjoy the flowers in winter! In addition, you should also pay attention to "pinching the heart" of the large-flowered Portulaca oleracea. This can promote the growth of new branches and make the flower plant more beautiful!
