Planting and care

Light:

• When planting your portulacas, we suggest you select a flowerbed that receives full sunlight throughout the day.
• The more sun these plants get, the harder they flower. If you plant in a shady flowerbed, your portulacas won’t put the flowers on display. Instead, they pout and close the flowerheads.
• Portulaca plants are so picky about the sun that they often refuse to open on cloudy or overcast days.
• The plants require a minimum of 6 to 8-hours of sun each day.

Water:

As mentioned, overwatering your portulacas is not a good idea. However, your flowers still need plenty of water to grow up strong and healthy. Watering is essential to help the plants establish a root system. The healthier the plant’s roots, the more it will blossom in the summertime.

Portulacas are reasonably drought-resistant, but its best to keep them in moist soil if you want them to flower properly. A drip irrigation system is ideal for these plants, providing them with all the water they need to thrive in the garden.

Temperature: Portulaca plants are native to the highlands of Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina. The moss rose is no stranger to hot and dry conditions, and it can tolerate the cold as well. The plant’s nature to spread makes it a popular choice for xeriscaping.

Soil: Plant your portulacas in a good-quality soil mix. Following this rule ensures that your plants have all the nutrients they need to grow. A good soil mix means that you won’t need much fertilizer during the growing season.
