Purslane potted plant left unattended for years grows into an old stump, and no matter how much the neighbor offers, the mother-in-law won't sell it

The purslane potted plant grown by the mother-in-law, left unattended for years, has grown into an old stump, and she won't sell it no matter how much the neighbor offers!

Speaking of purslane, many people surely know it, especially in rural areas, where it grows everywhere. Besides being edible, purslane can also be grown as a potted plant. Some people also call it "golden branches and jade leaves," because purslane's leaves are very cute, round and thick, and feel especially fleshy. The mother-in-law grew a pot of purslane at home and didn't tend to it for several years, yet even a single branch managed to grow into an old stump, making it suddenly look much more noble. When the neighbor saw it, they insisted on buying it for 200 yuan, but the mother-in-law looked reluctant and wouldn't sell it for any price!

Many friends may think that growing purslane into an old stump is somewhat difficult. Some flower lovers who like purslane old stumps will go straight to the flower market to buy ready-made ones. Actually, there's no need to buy them at all; we can absolutely grow them ourselves at home. Growing purslane into an old stump is actually very simple. Let's take a look at how the mother-in-law grows hers!

We need to go to the wild and cut a relatively thick purslane branch, about 20CM long. Cut the lower part of the branch at an angle, then remove some leaves, place it in a shady spot to dry, insert it into prepared soil, water it thoroughly, and put it in a cool, ventilated place.

After about 1 week, the purslane branch can take root, sprout and grow new leaves. During the rooting period, keep the soil moist. During the growing period, be careful to replenish water for the purslane in time, but avoid waterlogging. If you want the purslane to grow into an old stump, you need to regularly supplement it with controlled-release fertilizer, give it appropriate sunlight at ordinary times and avoid exposure to strong sun. After about a year, it can grow into an old stump.
