- Variety: Portulaca Grandiflora
- Soil requirements: Portulaca grandiflora thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil with a pH level between 5.5 and 7.0. It is tolerant of poor soil conditions but requires good drainage to prevent root rot.
- Sunlight needs: These seeds require full sun to grow optimally. They need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to produce vibrant blooms.
- Watering requirements: Portulaca grandiflora is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent watering. Water the plants deeply but allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
- Planting season: The best time to plant Portulaca grandiflora seeds is in the spring after the last frost has passed. They can also be planted in early summer.
- Depth and spacing: Sow the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them down without covering them, as they need light to germinate. Space the seeds about 6-12 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Germination time: The seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days under optimal conditions. Ensure the soil temperature is between 70-85°F (21-29°C) for best results.
- Maturity time: Portulaca grandiflora plants usually reach maturity and start blooming within 8-10 weeks after planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest the flowers is in the early morning when they are fully open and fresh. This is also the best time to collect seeds if you plan to save them for future planting.
- Harvesting tips: Use clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the flowers. For seed saving, allow the flowers to dry on the plant and collect the seeds once the seed pods have matured and dried. Store the seeds in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.
