Portulacas love it hot and dry. You can plant them in poor, even sandy, soil. They also adapt to average garden conditions.
Just give them full sun and any well-drained soil. Water them after planting and watch them go. They ll grow 4 to 8 inches high and spread 6 to 18 inches. You don t even have to deadhead.
If plants get scraggly, you can cut them back. Don t fertilize too much; it will encourage plants to produce thick foliage but fewer flowers.
Sunlight | Soil | Water | Temperature | Fertilizer |
---|---|---|---|---|
Full sunlight | Prefer sandy well drained soils. | When they are watered just a light watering will do as their root zone is very shallow. | The plants can also be started indoor at 70 to 85°F (21 to 29°C). | There s no need for fertilizer with the portulaca, as it will do fine on its own. |
