Planting Instructions:
- Soil Preparation: Choose a location with well-draining soil. Portulaca prefers sandy or rocky soil and thrives in poor soil conditions.
- Sowing: Sow seeds directly outdoors after the last frost or start indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date. Scatter seeds on the soil surface and press them lightly into the soil, but do not cover, as they need light to germinate.
- Watering: Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days. Once established, water sparingly as Portulaca is drought-tolerant.
- Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 6-8 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
Growing Tips:
- Light Requirements: Portulaca Grandiflora thrives in full sun and requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal blooming.
- Watering: Once established, water occasionally, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Fertilization: Generally does not require fertilization. If desired, use a light application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early summer.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant health.
- Pest Control: Rarely affected by pests or diseases. However, monitor for aphids and treat with insecticidal soap if necessary.
Special Notes:
- Portulaca Grandiflora is an excellent choice for hot, sunny spots in the garden where other plants might struggle.
- It is a versatile plant that can be used in various garden settings, including rock gardens, hanging baskets, and along garden borders.
