How to Sow and Plant

Prepare well-drained sandy or loamy soil in a sunny location.

Sow the seeds directly on the soil surface and press them lightly, as light is required for germination.

Keep the soil slightly moist by watering gently until seeds sprout, which usually takes 7 to 14 days.

Once seedlings are established, thin or transplant them to maintain a spacing of 6 to 12 inches for healthy growth.

How to Grow

Grow plants in full sun with at least 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily.

Water sparingly, as Portulaca is drought tolerant once established.

Remove spent flowers regularly to promote continuous blooming throughout the season.

For best results, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3 to 4 weeks during active growth.

Tips

Avoid excessive watering, as overly wet soil can cause root rot.

Seeds germinate best in warm soil conditions between 21 and 29 degrees Celsius.

Portulaca is an excellent choice for beginner gardeners due to its low maintenance needs and strong, resilient growth habit.
