Today we will see how to grow a succulent plant particularly widespread: Portulaca. It is difficult to treat the cacti, which are also suitable for those who do not have the so-called "green thumb". The Purslane is also known as porcelain. This is because it leaves very bright light green. The stems are red and have many branches.
The peculiarity is that its flowers are small, wrinkled-looking petals and bright colors: yellow, red, pink, fuchsia and orange. The Purslane is a succulent native to South Asia and Australia. What are Succulents? These plants are equipped with special tissues that can store water in them.
The Portulaca is not large: it can be anything up to 30 cm. It blooms during the summer, from June to September. To get a rich flowering should be placed in a bright and sunny place. He fears the low temperatures, like all succulents, so she must be kept outside during the fall and winter.
As for the watering should be moderate, avoiding stagnation. Know that Portulaca is a plant that prefers dry rather than being flooded! Let the soil dry completely between watering and the other. It should be fertilized every two weeks during flowering, but does not require pruning or repotting.
In the photogallery you can see some pictures of Portulaca.
