How to plant purslane seeds correctly
For seedlings, seeds are sown superficially, watered moderately, covered with film or glass, at a temperature of 23 degrees. Sprouts appear after 5-14 days.
Grown seedlings dive into containers or open ground.
Seedlings are planted in May and early June.
Is it possible to grow purslane in a pot
It is important not to keep Purslane grandiflora in a pot that is too large, as this can lead to overwatering.
When repotting, move the pot one size larger than the current container.
A shallow container is better than a deep one because Purslane grandiflora has a shallow root system.
Should purslane be trimmed
Purslane is an annual plant, so it does not require special pruning.
You only need to trim and remove diseased, yellowed or fallen leaves and stems during the growing season.
How to care for a purslane plant
After planting purslane, keep the soil moist, but do not flood it.
A good watering once or twice a week or as needed.
If purslane is grown in a container, then the plant must be periodically fertilized with mineral fertilizers.
Purslane grows well in sunny and semi-shaded areas.
