Portulaca grandiflora cuttings and sowing

1. Snap off a stem for cuttings

Snap off a stem of Portulaca grandiflora and stick it in the soil, and it will root quickly. If your cuttings never succeed, follow Huahua and try a new method: first leave the snapped stem in a cool, shady spot for most of the day.

Portulaca grandiflora has strong vitality, and air-drying it for half a day can stimulate it to root. Put the stem in a disposable cup, pour in half a cup of clean water (tap water should be left to sit for half a day first to remove chlorine).

Within two days the Portulaca grandiflora will sprout roots like crazy. Keep it out of the sun, change the water once every 3 days, and after about 6 days you can plant it in a pot. This method has a high success rate, so if direct soil cuttings don't work for you, give it a try~

2. Sowing

Portulaca grandiflora blooms wave after wave, so don't forget to collect the seeds; the success rate of sowing is very high, and sowing again means you can see the flowers bloom once more~

The seeds need no pre-sprouting; just scatter them directly on the potting soil, mist the soil surface with a watering can, and place them in a cool, shady spot. They sprout in 3-5 days. After sprouting, move them to a bright spot for care, and when they reach 6 cm tall you can pinch the tips. Just three to five plants can branch out and fill a pot!

Portulaca grandiflora is not afraid of the sun; in summer, the more sun it gets, the more it blooms, and in about 20 days it can fill a pot with flowers. Quite a few flower lovers in our community have already taken action!
