Portulaca cuttings and sowing

1. Snap off a stem for cuttings

Snap off a stem of portulaca 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 shady spot for most of the day.

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

In less than two days the portulaca will sprout roots like crazy. Keep it out of the sun, change the water 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 blooms wave after wave, so don't forget to collect the seeds. The success rate of sowing is very high, and if you sow again, you can enjoy the flowers 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 in a shady spot. They sprout in 3-5 days. After sprouting, move them to a spot with good light for care. When they grow to 6 cm tall, you can pinch off the tips. Just three to five plants can branch out and fill a pot!

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