How to Grow and Care Portulaca Plant || Fun Gardening

Portulacas are summer annual plants that give colors to your garden during the summer season. They are fast-growing, fleshy plants with water-containing leaves.

Portulacas can be grown easily from small cuttings or by collecting seeds. Cuttings can be taken and grown in soil, and within a few days, a new plant will emerge. Seeds can be collected and grown for the next season.

Portulaca flowers come in various colors and shades, including pink, yellow, orange, red, and magenta. There are many varieties of flowers available.

Portulacas require well-drained soil and should not be overwatered. They need at least five to six hours of sunlight every day. During the flowering season, give them liquid fertilizer every 10 days.

No, Portulacas are not heavy feeders. They can still bloom and grow without regular fertilizer, but for profuse flowering, adding fertilizer every 10 to 15 days is recommended.
