Portulaca grandiflora, also known as moss rose and purslane, is a flower that can survive as long as there is sunlight, and a single branch can be divided into several pots.

In the greenhouses of Qingzhou, only a small number of flower farmers grow Portulaca grandiflora for sale as potted plants, while most flower farmers grow it for landscaping. It is a perennial flower, often cultivated as an annual, and the unit price is very cheap - just a few mao and you can buy a pot. Portulaca grandiflora is very easy to propagate and can adapt to most soils. It can even fully adapt to very poor soil, but it requires good drainage and aeration.

In the greenhouses of Qingzhou, most flower farmers use cuttings to propagate it and rarely use seeds. Most flower farmers, once they have a mother plant, keep the mother plant and then remove the leaves for cutting propagation.

Portulaca grandiflora likes a warm, sunny and dry environment. It blooms when it sees sunlight and closes in the morning, evening and on cloudy days, hence the names "sun flower" and "noon flower." It also propagates very quickly. Generally, about one month after cuttings are taken, it can be sold as landscaping seedlings. You can also see that the soil used for cuttings is just the common garden soil we usually see. Before planting, water the potting soil thoroughly, then insert the prepared branches into the soil.

Many flower enthusiasts like to artificially intervene with Portulaca grandiflora to achieve the goal of quickly filling a pot. The usual practice is to constantly pinch off the terminal buds of Portulaca grandiflora to promote the growth of side buds. In fact, the result is no different from pulling up seedlings to help them grow. Too many side buds and flower buds instead consume too many nutrients, and if managed improperly, it will actually make it easier to fill the pot.
