Grow Instructions:
For successful growth, plant your Portulaca in well-draining soil and ensure it receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Water sparingly, as Portulaca is highly drought-tolerant. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Occasional fertilization can encourage blooming and overall plant health.
Care Instructions:
Maintaining Portulaca is a breeze. Regularly deadhead spent blooms to promote continuous flowering. Light pruning can help maintain its shape. In colder climates, consider growing Portulaca as an annual or bring it indoors during the winter months to protect it from frost.
